Tamara Gonzales: The center does not hold, it blooms

The Pit Los Angeles · Eastside
Exhibition on view: Mar 21, 2026 - Apr 30, 2026

The center does not hold, it blooms is Tamara Gonzales's fourth solo exhibition with The Pit, featuring new mosaic wall works and sculptures. Developed during a residency in Limassol, Cyprus, the works are shaped by Mediterranean light, water, and layered history. Dolphins, fish motifs, waves, and Greek architecture permeate the compositions, rendered in glass tile mosaics that closely mirror Gonzales's on-site watercolors. Color functions as a living force, pattern as a carrier of memory, and painting as a devotional act where ancestral knowledge and spiritual practice converge.

Artist

Tamara Gonzales

Tamara Gonzales (b. 1959, Madera, CA) is a Brooklyn-based Mexican-American artist whose vibrant paintings blend abstraction with figuration. Influenced by indigenous cultures of the Americas and spiritual practices from India and the Caribbean, Gonzales draws on ancestral knowledge and Western modernism, using lace as a stencil to spray-paint layered patterns exploring veiling, ornamentation, and the interplay of opacity and transparency. Her work is held in collections including the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta. Residencies include Yaddo (1999) and Sanskriti Kendra, New Delhi (2001).
