Is the gathered group receiving a warning? Watching a performance? The answer’s unclear, which is just as Gonzales intends it. His paintings probe the evidentiary nature of representation, casting doubt on the adage “seeing is believing.”

In The Principles of Harmony and Contrast of Colours Michel-Eugène Chevreul (d. 1889) made major scientific contributions to the fields of chemistry and colour. Among other works, he invented a three-dimensional colour classification system, which he used to manufacture a colour atlas showing colour circles and monochrome lightness scales.
