Gomez's paintings show the places where economic precarity is at its mostlegible and visible.
Fusing the visual techniques of artifice illusionism andtrompe l'oeil he mobilizes a
contemporary dialectic of realism that makes economic destruction more real than the
truth-value of the photographic image.(...) Gomez invites the viewer to a contest of
discernment in which economic destruction can be recognized and the civic duty to distinguish
truth from fiction might be reconstructed. Text: Giampaolo Bianconi Maurin Dietrich Rita
