Joe Garcia

Benicia resident Joe Garcia develops his abstract works through subject matters that are based on the built environment and organic forms. Primarily working with acrylic paint, he also works with a variety of other media including photography, wood, metal, cement and found objects.

Most works are intuitive experiments that begin with what he calls “predictable processes” that quickly evolve into forms, shapes and a series of collective elements that are far removed from the first mark made on the canvas, paper or textured imagery. These intangible challenges lead to paths which allow him to discover the specific and unique personality of each piece.
