Edition:
Original 1/1
Style:
Garcia builds the composition as two weathered, cliff-like fields suspended on a clean white ground, and the first impression is one of fracture and reassembly. The surface is densely worked: crimson, rust, ochre, cream, cobalt, and black layer over one another in scumbled passages, scraped channels, and abrasion that reads as accumulated time rather than illustration. The upper form carries a darker maroon canopy, while the larger lower form opens into a hotter red field cut with electric blue passages, creating a vertical tension that gives the work its architectural spine. In both color and tactility, the work is in dialogue with postwar abstraction, lyrical material painting, and the surface-minded concerns of artists who treat the panel as an arena for erosion, sediment, and memory.

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.
