Artist Raul Gonzalez artwork: DOING WORK - Opening Night Performance & Select Work

Raul dances to Jamie XX's "On Hold" Remix from Raul Gonzalez on Vimeo.

For his performance titled "Mom Would Have Been Proud",
Raul dances to Jamie XX's "On Hold" Remix at grayDUCK Gallery.

The song is both powerfully uplifting and haunting.

As a kid, I remember my mom used to spend Saturday mornings cleaning the apartment while blasting her favorite songs on our family stereo. She'd often replay songs over and over while my sisters and I helped her vacuum or dust our home.

We often rented and eventually owned a lot of dance-themed movies such as Footloose, Shag, Salsa, Lambada, Grease, Dirty Dancing, and plenty of others.

Over the course of my life, I've taught myself different style of dancing that allow me to express emotions that I cannot in my paintings and drawings.
