Domestic Scenes: The Art of Ramiro Gomez

Award-winning author Lawrence Weschlerâ€™s book on the young Mexican American artist Ramiro Gomez explores questions of social equity and the chasms between cultures and classes in America.
Â
Gomez, born in 1986 in San Bernardino, California, to undocumented Mexican immigrant parents, bridges the divide between the affluent wealthy and their usually invisible domestic helpâ€”the nannies, gardeners, housecleaners, and others who make their lifestyles possibleâ€”by inserting images of these workers into sly pastiches of iconic David Hockney paintings, subtly doctoring glossy magazine ads, and subversively slotting life-size painted cardboard cutouts into real-life situations.
Â
Domestic Scenes engages with Gomez and his work, offering an inspiring vision of the purposes and possibilities of art.
