The Apple Tree

by: Angel Gómez


Staff placeholder Angel Gómez

Angel Gómez was born in Carbonero el Mayor (Segovia) Spain in 1942.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Gómez’s canvases were filled with familiar images of slate roofs over centuries-old stone buildings with stone-carved archways and wrought iron railings, narrow cobbled streetscapes in sun-dipped colors of gold, blue and purple. Rich, bold brush strokes created vibrant “paisajes” (landscapes) of Spanish countrysides.

However, since Gómez’s arrival in Canada in 1980, and as one vastly influenced by his surroundings, he has sought to reconcile his Spanish roots with the feeling of isolation he has experienced since moving to Fredericton, New Brunswick, and to describe these experiences in paint.
