1969, USA.
Lives and works in USA and New Zeland.
Skater, artist and poet. His early popularity was based on the
fact that he was one of the most famous professional skateboarders
in history. His colorful paintings and childlike drawing style
are both comical and deeply profound. The work he creates reflects
the raw energy of youth along with a deep sense of spirituality
and a razor sharp wit. Various types of paints and markers,
photocopy collage, and his unique misspelled text come together
to create his signature style. The themes of love, relationships,
religion, media, fashion, sex, and money all figure into his
work. Recently, he has expanded his oeuvre to include quilting
and large-scale, three-dimensional sculpture. He currently serves
as creative director for his company, Krooked Skateboards. Gonzales
has exhibited his work worldwide. |
