Edition:
Original 1/1
Style:
Garcia’s work meets the eye as a vertical field of scarred color, with a rough-edged central form floating off the wall and a smaller fragment below it. The surface is built in dense layers of red, rust, orange, and black, broken by drips, scratches, and thin linear passages that read like weathering, erosion, and accumulated mark-making all at once. Strong side lighting throws a hard shadow that doubles the object’s silhouette and intensifies its sculptural presence, placing the piece in direct conversation with assemblage, relief painting, and the material charge of Arte Povera and postwar abstraction. The work turns the wall into both subject and support, extending Garcia’s own language of aging surfaces into a tactile, architectural image of time made visible.

Key Facts

  • Location: Houston, TX

Justin Garcia, Born Houstonian, is influenced by the timeless connection between art and science studied by DaVinci. His lifelong fascination with aging and how change occurs over time led him to undergo a deep self-psychoanalysis through the abstraction of his first seven series spanning over a decade. All of Garcia’s earlier works are pieces of a larger puzzle. To analyze, document, and assemble this puzzle, he took two years away from the art scene, several months of which he spent isolated in central Mexico. There, he mapped and constructed a theoretical model that captures the intersection of experience, awareness, and control across time and subject matter (Humanity’s Sustainable Infinite (HSI)) .

Artist Statement

Art is an expression of the mind’s endless creativity, a doorway to everything in which humans are en-gaged. My work is the continuous result of studying a single question: Why ? My work focuses on the complexity of time and the human perception of it through the simplicity of aging walls as architectural structures representing reality. It is precisely the walls all around us that bring a sense of solace when confronting concepts of time and its infinite effect. As every surface, from that of the smallest pebble to the largest planet, is a wall, and every wall is a surface subjected to time.
