Artist Entry #29 Julio Gonzalez
Julio worked with metal and painting, but mainly metalworking. He created pieces ranging in size from small to very large. He is one of the people responsible creating an interest for metal art. A lot of his work is very abstract kind of like Picasso, you can see the image he is trying to create but it's stripped down to it's basic and generic form. You can see Picasso's abstract influences on his work because at one point they shared a studio.
I've always found metal art interesting because I've worked with metal and welding before and I know had big of a pain in the ass it can be. I have respect for artist who can create the curvilinear lines, odd angles and organic shapes with metal. A lot of people don't realize how difficult it is to manipulate metal and get it to take these shapes. The small detail work is his pieces is pretty impressive as well.
