Alfonso Gonzalez Jr. (b. 1989, Los Angeles) lives and works in Los Angeles. His practice draws from early exposure to his father's work as a commercial sign painter, and his paintings reflect on the material and visual language of hand-painted signage and the weathered surfaces of the city, tracing familial histories of labor and image-making. Often read as still lifes, they examine the layered interactions that accumulate on public surfaces, functioning as contemporary palimpsests in which traces of earlier histories remain visible. His solo exhibition "In Between Stops" is on view at LACMA through December 1, 2026. Other solo exhibitions include "No Parking" and "There Was There" at Matthew Brown and "This Was Here" at Jeffrey Deitch, New York. His work is in the collections of LACMA, the Hammer Museum, MOCA, ICA Miami, the Rubell Museum and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.
