Artist Statement from Justin Garcia
My work is about process through three cognitive phases: experience, awareness and control. I build, strip down and then rebuild the physical structure of the artwork using the constructs of color, shape, depth and movement in an impasto style of layering and thin staining. These processes reveal nuances that give insight to moments that become memories in time. Each subtle mark is a story that lies before the viewer and brings them to stillness with their inner curiosity. Aesthetics play the role of host, inviting the viewer’s mind into the work; curiosity is the fuel that stimulates our evolution.
This is an ongoing study that uses the relationship of art and science to understand both the physical and mental processes of evolution. The full spectrum of my approach uses eastern and western philosophy along with anatomy, physiology, psychology, physics, metaphysics, and quantum cognition. In addition, my work and philosophy include several underlying business practices which provide a balance of how reality and the subconscious interact and where each field connects.
The process of layering within each work mirrors the sensation of layers in reality and the act of staining serves as memories in the subconscious. The tangible art that is created through this exploration of process becomes a footnote left behind during my journey. Every work is part of a series, every series is part of a larger whole that is created and analyzed for the purpose of deeply exploring the fundamental building blocks humanity collectively climbs in order to evolve.
“Walls of Time,” my eighth series, 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.
