about Xurxo Gómez-Chao
A Coruña, 1960
In the career of the artist Xurxo Gómez-Chao, stand outs evolution from his beginnings in painting to his last works in which photography has become his fundamental means of expression for his works. The photographer, using elements found in his daily reality manages to create a new and independent work, nature usually acquiring a leading role. Gómez-Chao's work can be defined as multidisciplinary, since it combines photography with other media such as painting, ceramics or video. Duality between the rational and the visceral as well as between the material and the dreamlike, it is also an inherent characteristic of his creative universe.
