Modern and Contemporary Galleries

Here Ramiro Gomez impressionistically depicts a nanny and the child in her care in New York’s Central Park. This work extends from the time the artist worked as a nanny, and the women with whom he shared that experience. Gomez’s paintings specifically represent and recognize immigrants, whose individuality and labor is often taken for granted by those whose lives of luxury and comfort they facilitate. He regularly uses cardboard in his work because of its associations with accessibility, mobility, and disposability, reflecting the precarious social and economic existences of these invisible workers.
