Jonloius Gonzalez (b. 1993, Coney Island, NY) is a Puerto Rican artist based in Miami, FL. The artist sees his artistic practice as its own interconnected universe, one that continuously evolves with each body of work that he creates. The iconography, derived from the landscape of his upbringing in the Space Coast of Florida, while personal, is equally representative and observant of everyday human experiences and social challenges. He often uses Astronaut figures to symbolize exploration, guardianship, and storytelling. Gonzalez moves between modes of creation and observation, through painting, sculpting and large-scale installations to tell the story of social beings in a melting pot of global influence beyond time.
Gonzalez's work has been showcased in numerous exhibitions and art fairs, as well as resides in public and private collections worldwide. Recently, he has exhibited at spaces such as Vertical Gallery, Chicago, IL (2024) and Laundromat Art Space, Miami, FL (2024) and Museums such as Philip and Patricia Frost Museum (Miami, FL) and MOSI Museum (Tampa, FL). In 2021. Jonlouis was selected by SpaceX to take part in Inspiration 4, the world's first All-Civilian Mission, in which his artwork was launched into space and orbited the planet for three days before returning to Earth—the first artwork in history to do so.
