Exhibition: STRUGGLE - The Art of Servando Garcia
Paintings and Sculpture Artist: Servando Garcia Exhibition: October 1-28, 2009 Opening Reception: Thursday, October 1, 2009, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Artist Talk: Thursday, October 1, 2009  Togonon Gallery is pleased to present Struggle:The Art of Servando Garcia in a solo exhibition. This is Garcia's third solo exhibition at Togonon Gallery. In an unusual move, the show will include what the artist refers to as his "failed" paintings as well as his "successful" ones. Garcia is obsessed with notions of ontology and expression. He uses a variety of formal means to create an emotive spatial tension in his work. In this exhibition, the paintings depict different visions of a single scene on multiple canvases, lending a view into his emotional and actual painting process. Garcia's paintings move from the representational to minimal to almost surreal. They are close-ups of his process-- true examples of the challenge to create his work. Exhibiting nationally and internationally, Garcia is concurrently featured in two other exhibitions: "Echo of A Whole" at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum (CAF), Santa Barbara, California and “A Communion of Saints: Santa Barbara and San Antonio at the David Shelton Callery, San Antonio,Texas. Servando Garcia obtained his BFA from The San Francisco Art Institute in 2000 and his MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. He lives and works in the Bay Area. |
