Visit with Erin D. Garcia

In his solo exhibition Group 5, Erin D. Garcia presents paintings that depict floral motifs created from fluid loops of saturated acrylic paint on canvas.

The Los Angeles-based artist's new paintings continue to explore abstraction by iterating on his library of lines, arcs, and marks to create wholly new forms that reference flowers and fruits. In these works, Erin calls on object recognition to activate memories and emotions while also nodding to cultural and historical significance.

I started these pieces while working on my last show, 'Super Silhouette', and finished them when I returned home from the opening in Tokyo. I wanted to see what finished is. Is it an idea mapped out and repeated through variations, or can it be caught in the middle of creation?

These pieces mark a transition in my process from transposing ideas from paper to creating directly on canvas.
