Original 1/1
Style:
Garcia builds the composition as a vertical field of fractured, wall-like forms mounted in open space, so the eye reads the work first as a topographic descent from cool green at the top to rusted ochre at the bottom. The surfaces carry scumbled paint, abrasion, scratches, drips, and worn passages that preserve the look of weathered plaster and mineral stain rather than a sealed pictorial finish. The irregular edges and separated fragments turn the work into relief painting, placing it in conversation with postwar material abstraction, Arte Povera, and the painted reliefs of artists who treat the wall as subject and surface at once. His handling gives color the role of erosion and memory, with turquoise, emerald, white, and earth tones layered like sediment across a compressed architectural skin.

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.
