Esa Es La Tirada (A Long Shot)

Fernando Cabrera Gonzalez will showcase his artistic evolution over the years since his first exhibit in 2016. You need to see this gallery filled with his bright use of color and layered symbolism throughout the exhibit. “Esa Es La Tirada” is a Mexican saying meaning “That’s the goal.” It embodies his goal as an artist, creating the vision for future works. Overcoming fear is the central thread driving the theme of this exhibition. Fighting fear and self-doubt while creating, he’s developed a process involving subconscious and conscious actions. And he’s developed his own expressive use of brushstrokes and colors to create an abstract underpainting, then progresses from there consciously bringing images to life on canvas i.e. using the battle of the cockatiel and snake as a metaphor, encouraging viewers to face their fears with courage in order to attain that which we desire most, freedom.
