Jason García

Biography

Jason Garcia’s paintings construct and explore a diffusion of color within relationships of symbols highlighted by integrating an embedded repetition of patterned motifs. Working with a fluctuating, yet familiar visual language, Garcia’s paintings consist of multiple layers that tell stories of botanical, zoological, mechanical and invisible dynamic worlds. The paintings remain open to definitive interpretations that challenge and validate the viewer’s culturally established perspectives and beliefs.
