“The last few years have seen the emergence of a prevailing style to Paul Gonez's work, an aspect which was ever present but which has recently become his driving force: symbolic abstract.
Paul Gonez's work is based on the sun and the solar system, and all their different aspects and representations over their natural cycle: seasons, life and death, metamorphosis, mutations and regenerations…This pursuit is evident in his smaller works but finds its true strength in the monumental sculptures.” From an article by François Migeot
“Abstract and symbolic, Paul Gonez's works are interpreted like an enigma of time. Each sculpture seems to carry the gravitational force of an essential impulse, temporarily captive of a form, a sign announcing the arrival of a new world. A form takes shape and grows, dazzling amid lines, as if merely bestowed with the appearance of reality, born in the silver heart of the sphere and from which unknown galaxies may still emerge. The space around it seems permeated with the silence of the work.” From an article by Jacques Rittaud Hutinet
