Fran Gonzalez (1959) - El Jardín de los Colores 2 (XXXL) (con bastidor)

Title: The Garden of Colors 2 (XXXL) Theme: "The Garden of Colors 2" (XXXL) belongs to a new series of Triptychs on Canvas Stretchers (ready to hang on the wall) and it connects with the artistic line started more than 40 years ago by the sculptor and gilding artist Fran González (Contemporary Gilding). "The Garden of Colors 2" consists of three pieces mounted on a stretcher and independent from one another, so their order can be arranged in different ways. They can also be separated to install them in different locations as three individual works. The size of the triptych can reach 215x55 cm. (XXXL) both horizontally and vertically (see illustrative photos). "The Garden of Colors" is therefore a large-scale mural work, elegant and luminous. Its richness of textures, strong presence, and Zen aesthetics pay homage to Japanese Art while also nodding to the world of Luxury Interior Design. This work is conceived to fill any interior space with magic and warmth. Fran González, an artist specialized in the use of gold leaf as a contemporary artistic medium, focuses his work on uniting artisanal traditions with experimentation and the creation of novel exclusive techniques. His reinterpretation of gilding and the use of non-traditional materials as an artistic language differentiate him within the contemporary art scene. In Fran González’s work, gold leaf and other metals (bronze, aluminum, silver, etc.) are used as an expressive and symbolic medium, beyond mere decorative value. The work comes with a certificate of authenticity, authorial attribution, and provenance. Warnings: the artwork is shipped wrapped in a thick cardboard box 60x80x5 cm with a double protective covering. It is also reminded that the proportions and colors appearing in some photomontages (mockups) may not correspond exactly to reality and are offered only as a reference for the artwork’s presence in a contemporary interior design context. Technique: Acrylic and Gold on primed cotton canvas mounted on a stretcher (no frame). Application of several layers of imitation gold leaf with acid patinas. About gilding techniques: The traditional gilding technique consists of applying very thin sheets of metal (gold, silver, imitation gold [i.e., bronze], aluminum, copper, etc.) on any artistic surface (wood, metal, ceramics, textiles, etc.). Contemporary Gilding: Contemporary gilding techniques are unique and exclusive to Fran González and originate from the experimental philosophy of 20th-century contemporary art, developed over more than 40 years of professional career, which bring to the works a quality that radiates a magical light that permeates the space in which it is displayed. Shipping: packaged rolled for protection Total dimensions of the triptych: 225 cm x 55 cm. (XXL) depending on orientation and composition made with the canvases. Hand-signed on the back Fran González, by @contemporarygilding Year 2026 Fran González (Spain, 1959) is a contemporary artist who works gilding techniques from a present-day perspective. Under the name "Contemporary Gilding" he explores the contrast between the material and the symbolic through unique works and limited series. González’s career began in 1982 when, after studying Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, he decided to devote himself full-time to Sculpture and Ceramics. He studied Art at the Madrid School of Fine Arts, the Official School of Ceramics of Madrid, and participated in various Contemporary Art Workshops at the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid with contemporary artists as relevant as Julian Schnabel, Eva Lootz, Juan Hidalgo, and Valcárcel Medina, between 1982 and 1990. Although his development has been largely self-taught, Fran González has earned various awards and recognitions nationally and internationally since the start of his career. Thanks to having resided in several European countries, his works are in numerous private collections in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the USA.

Fran González in the media: (Article about FG in the European Craft Portal "Mad´in Europe" (Excerpts)) "Fran(cisco) González is a ceramicist, sculptor, painter, and contemporary gilding artist whose practice unites traditional craftsmanship and innovative technique. With more than four decades of experience, his work reflects a continuous dialogue between material, process, and inspiration. His main gilding method, used about 80% of the time, is water gilding, which he chooses for its lower toxicity and sustainability, especially when working indoors... A large part of Francisco’s work is inspired by archaeological artifacts and ancient cultures. Whether the Greeks, the Etruscans, the Phoenicians, the Romans, Chinese, Japanese, or the rich hybrid Arab culture in Spain, his fascination lies not only in the forms and techniques of the past but in the emotional resonance they carry. This emotional depth permeates his ceramics, gilded sculptures, and even his evolving jewelry design work. This curiosity led him to prehistoric origins and gradually to experimenting with new materials and forms..."
