ALBERT GONZALO (Tarragona, 1954 – Barcelona, 2014). “Bunee Qee” (Rabbit Qee). 2013 model. Vinyl figure with hand-painted details based on a Toy2R (Hong Kong) model. Features the manufacturer’s mark and date on the base. Shows slight scuffs on the painted surface. Dimensions: 25.5 x 13 x 7.5 cm. This figure brings Albert Gonzalo’s pictorial language into the world of art toys. On the Toy2R Bunee Qee model, the artist creates a piece dominated by intense shades of blue and gestural black strokes. Fragmented faces, multiplied eyes, and sinuous forms transform the character’s expression, evoking his interest in symbolic languages and the artistic traditions of other cultures. The piece thus establishes a dialogue between contemporary painting and collectible design. A painter, printmaker, and photographer, Albert Gonzalo held a Ph.D. in Fine Arts and was a professor at the University of Barcelona. His work, enriched by his travels to Africa and Asia, explored the expressive possibilities of symbolism and gestural painting. He began exhibiting in 1976 and participated in art fairs such as ARCO. His work is represented at the Fundació Vila Casas and was the subject of the retrospective exhibition *Ofrenes d'Albert Gonzalo*, held at Arts Santa Mònica in 2018.
