Jonlouis Gonzalez
Jonloius Gonzalez (b. 1993, Coney Island, NY) is a Puerto Rican artist based in Miami, FL. Self-educated, Gonzalez sees his artistic practice as its own interconnected universe, one that continuously evolves with each body of work that he creates. The iconography, derived from the landscape of his upbringing in the Space Coast of Florida, while personal, is equally representative and observant of everyday human experiences and social challenges. He often uses Astronaut figures to symbolize exploration, guardianship, and storytelling. Gonzalez moves between modes of creation and observation, using elements of visual culture to tell the story of social beings in a melting pot of global influence beyond time.
