Artist Ramiro Gomez Shakes Up Luxury Ads With a Dose of Reality

By Jorge Rivas, Fusion

The images of housekeepers and gardeners that artist Ramiro Gomez creates are deeply personal to him. Ramiro’s grandmother was a nanny, and in 2009 Ramiro himself took a job as a live-in nanny for an affluent family living in the hills above Los Angeles.

Ramiro, 27, will unveil more than two dozen works of art at his first solo show at the Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles on Saturday. Ramiro rips pages out of magazines that features images of luxury, and inserts figures of domestic workers: housekeepers, nannies, gardeners and pool cleaners.
