Half Gallery Hosting The Gonz’s Solo Show

As you can tell by the painting above, The Gonz has been in a great mood and it shows by his carefully crafted work of art, which displays he and his orange friend in a PINTO. I’ve seen quite a few of his PAINTINGS and I begin to wonder if he really sees life this way or he just knows deep inside that because his name is on the painting, it will fetch hundreds to thousands of dollars. That’s a trick that NYC pop artist JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT used to pull during the 80’s.
So granted I’m not a professional art critic, I do know quite a bit. I will try to critique the piece above. Based on the color of their skin, Mark is most likely color blind. Unfortunately for he and his friend they’ve been hanging out in HUNTINGTON BEACH all day so that orange tone really is the color of their skin. But fortunately, they came from the HB where tanning is so crucial that they tan like it’s going out of style. They are driving in the dark, so the must have gotten home from an HB FRAT PARTY. You know the kind where “bro’s come before ho’s?” And because the car is moving right to left, it leaves me with an unsettled feeling. Only the CHINESE paint right to left. Because of those smiles, I don’t think they are in trouble. They’re just driving backwards.
Mark is having an exhibit beginning this week at NYC’s HALF GALLERY. The show begins on Thursday so try to make it so that you can critique the rest of his work. Go the HALF GALLERY site for more info…
