Fran Gonzalez (1959) - Gold Dyptich (XXL) (con bastidor)

Title: Gold Diptych 2 (XXL) Theme: "Gold Diptych 2" (XXL) belongs to a new series of Wall-Mangable Polychrome Panels (ready to hang) and connects with the artistic line started more than 40 years ago by sculptor and gilder Fran González (Contemporary Gilding). "Gold Diptych 2" is formed by two pieces mounted on a frame and independent of each other, so their order can be arranged in different ways. They can also be separated to install them in different locations as three individual works. The size of the triptych can reach 215x55 cm (XXXL) both horizontally and vertically (see illustrative photos). "Gold Diptych 2" is therefore a large-scale work, elegant and luminous. Its richness of textures, strong presence and Brutalist aesthetics pay homage to Japanese Zen art while also nodding to the world of Luxury Interior Design. This work is conceived to fill any interior space with magic and warmth. Fran González, an artist specializing in the use of gold leaf as a contemporary artistic medium, focuses his work on uniting artisanal traditions with experimentation and the creation of innovative exclusive techniques. His reinterpretation of gilding and the use of unconventional materials as an artistic language differentiate him within the Contemporary Art scene. In Fran González’s work, gold leaf and other metals (bronze, aluminum, silver, etc.) are used as expressive and symbolic means, beyond mere decorative value. The work comes with a certificate guaranteeing its authenticity, authorship, and provenance. Warnings: the work is shipped packed in a cardboard box measuring 60x80x5 cm, with a double protective wrap. It is also reminded that the proportions and colors appearing in some photomontages (mockups) may not correspond exactly to reality and are provided only as a reference for the work’s presence in a contemporary interior context. Technique: Acrylic and Gilding on primed cotton canvas mounted on a frame (no frame). Application of several layers of imitation gold leaf with acid-made patinas. On gilding techniques: Traditional gilding involves applying very thin sheets of metal (gold, silver, imitation gold such as bronze, aluminum, copper, etc.) to any artistic surface (wood, metal, ceramic, textiles, etc.). Contemporary Gilding: Contemporary gilding techniques are unique and exclusive to Fran González and stem from the experimental philosophy of 20th-century contemporary art, developed over more than 40 years of professional career, imparting to the works qualities that radiate a magical light that fills the space where they are exhibited. Shipping: packed and rolled protection Total dimensions of the diptych: 114x65 cm. (XXL). One piece 72.5x60 cm and the other 65x54 cm. Hand-signed on the back Fran González, by @contemporarygilding Year 2026 Fran González (Spain, 1959) is a contemporary artist who works gilding techniques from a current perspective. Under the name "Contemporary Gilding" he explores the contrast between the material and the symbolic through unique works and limited series. González’s career began in 1982 when, after studying Engineering at the Technical University of Madrid, he decided to devote himself full-time to Sculpture and Ceramics. He studied Art at the School of Fine Arts of Madrid, the Official School of Ceramics of Madrid, and participated in various Contemporary Art Workshops at the Circulo de Bellas Artes of Madrid with relevant Contemporary Artists such as Julian Schnabel, Eva Lootz, Juan Hidalgo and Valcárcel Medina, between 1982 and 1990. Although his development has been mainly autodidactic, Fran González has earned several awards and recognitions nationally and internationally since the beginning of his career. Thanks to having resided in several European countries, his works are in numerous private collections in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the USA.

Fran González in the media: (Article on FG in the European Portal of Craftsmanship "Mad´in Europe" (Excerpts)) "Fran(cisco) González is a ceramist, sculptor, painter and contemporary gilder whose practice unites traditional craftsmanship and innovative technique. With more than four decades of experience, his work reflects a continuous dialogue between material, process and inspiration. His main gilding method, used about 80% of the time, is water gilding, which he chooses for its lower toxicity and sustainability, especially when working indoors... Much of Francisco’s work draws inspiration from archaeological artifacts and ancient cultures. Whether Greek, Etruscan, Phoenician, Roman, Chinese, Japanese, or the rich hybrid culture of the Arabs in Spain, his fascination lies not only in the forms and techniques of the past, but in the emotional resonance they carry. This emotional depth permeates his ceramics, gilded sculptures, and even his evolving work in jewelry design. This curiosity led him to prehistoric origins and, little by little, to experimenting with new materials and forms...
