About Ara-Waya-Nac

One of South America’s finest modern printmakers, Sergio Gonzalez Tornero’s work is a fusion of two distinct entities: panache for modernist form of abstraction and a passion for the historic cultures of the Pacific Northwest. The imagery in Tornero’s work balances both the joyful and bizarre; its texture, tonal values and masterful use of color relationships come together to create these fantastical works of art. One of the signature elements of Tornero’s artwork is his use of red and other bold colors, giving the work an enhanced energy and life force that could not be achieved with traditional black and white shading. His use of basic geometric shapes to create his forms has a childlike joviality, but the intricacies of these anatomies he creates is something only a master printmaker could achieve. Principally a printmaker, Gonzales-Tornero has had more than forty solo exhibitions in Chile, Canada, Europe and the United States.His work is included in numerous international collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum, the Brooklyn Museum and the New York Public Library. According to The New York Times, “[H]is way of putting paint to canvas shows how texture and volume can be represented by using fairly heavy-handed, and somewhat unusual, cross-hatching techniques. His emphasis on line may remind some of woodcuts, where the white of the paper, or in this instance, the white of the painted areas, suggests the pristine voids common to most woodcut prints”
