RICHARD GONÇALVES

ROCS Motorsports / Studio RG Art

Artist, designer and custom car builder, Rich operates ROCS Motorsports in New Jersey, a custom house founded in 1995 reimagining and personalising vintage Porsche cars. The same space houses Studio RG Art from where his paintings, sculptures and reimagined watches are generated.

Welcome to my b500 page, for those of you already familiar with my work thank you for your continued support & engagement. If you happen to be unfamiliar with what I do please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Richard Gonçalves and I am an American artist with roots in Paris, France and Lisbon Portugal. I am also the creative director, designer and custom car builder at ROCS Motorsports (IG: @rocsmotorsports), a specialty house founded in 1995 with my business partner, Victor Almeida and deeply engaged in the restoration, reimagining and personalization of vintage Porsche cars.

From the same space, originally a Willys-Nash dealership dating back to the early 1920s I also operate Richard Gonçalves Art (IG: @studioRGart)

where my paintings and reimagined watch series emanate as well.

Having a somewhat unorthodox view on life in general, I have found that I have a tendency to look at things from a slightly different angle and with a high degree of detail and objectiveness. This, I try to carry through to all of my work, itself intertwined into one single denominator, “The human condition” and the need to build layers of sensory appeal into everything I do.

I invite you to dive with me into my world of design and expression here on b500, a world of art and infinite imagination but not devoid of realism and meaning. A space where art, design & engineering intersect within my mind and where I intend to demonstrate the product aims to be more than just the sum of its parts and materials.

Under think nothing…
