Matt Gonzalez Found Paper Collage 12×9″ San Francisco Abstract Recycled Art SF
“If you live in San Francisco, the chances are that Matt Gonzalez needs little to no introduction. Professionally, he’s the chief attorney at the SF Public Defender’s Office, former president of the SF Board of Supervisors, former mayoral candidate, and running mate of Ralph Nader in the 2008 presidential race. These achievements however are only the tip of the iceberg in his 30 years of involvement, activism, and service in both local and national politics. Somehow on top of all of this Matt also manages to balance being a prolific artist, an avid supporter of the arts, and even an amateur art critic and historian who’s written over 50 articles which can be explored on his website The Matt Gonzalez Reader.” -John Vochatzer, “Studio Visit & Interview with Matt Gonzalez” “I make collage work with found paper. It’s something I’ve been doing seriously for the past two decades.” -Matt Gonzalez
