Influenced by surrealism and German expressionism, Gronk's paintings reflect
Chicano traditions while wryly (or ruthlessly) commenting on themes of ethnic identity, high and pop culture, romantic love, and mortality.
A nationally renowned performance artist and painter, Gronk had known from an early age that he wanted
to be an artist. "Drawing was as an escape for me - from poverty, from my environment. It was a way of creating new worlds for myself." Several of the
prints include depictions of his signature image of "La Tormenta," a solitary
figure with her back facing the viewer. A reoccurring theme, this metaphoric
figure is ambiguous: sometimes comical, sometimes tragic.
