Aitor González (b.1994) is a London-based artist of Quechua and Spanish descent. Growing up in Valencia in the southeast of Spain, he was exposed to the duality of cultures from an early age: Quechua Peruvian on his mother’s side, and Spanish on his father’s. His practice explores the poetic possibilities of objects, processes and stories taken from the everyday. Trained in sculpture, González has moved towards a more interdisciplinary practice incorporating drawing, painting and mixed media works. His work incorporates the themes of collective memory, family, myths, the diaspora experience and childhood. His perspective is informed by navigating spaces as a queer person– and the notions of alternative fluid histories and intimacies it entails. Aitor recently developed a solo exhibition at Robert’s Gallery in Glasgow (2022). He was included in MELTDOWN, Ridley Road Project Space, London (2022); The Manchester Contemporary and an accompanying exhibition Grey Area (curated by Kevin Hunt), PINK, Manchester (2022) and Preparations (curated by LateWorks), Cafe OTO, London (2021). Aitor has also published an artist book with Forma Editions, London (2022).
