The human nature is a quintessence of Garces' creation, and
it is considered a principle for the development of different and rich
possibilities of correlations between a person, visual-art realities and
conceptual realities. At first sight, these correlations seem to be the
antagonistic ones and in the painting of this author they reach the blending
of philosophy and alchemy.
The human body is a metaphor of liberty and dramatic
nature of human quests of the originality in everything. The human body
carries on a dialogue with goemetric elements which show the same simplicity
dreamed of by man in his relations with the world around.
Formally, Juan Garces' painting represents a very personal
and flexible form that combines the resources of abstract expressionism
with informalism and gesture painting.
The vivid and violent colour helps to emphasize the tensity
and Prometheus' quest of the Utopia of Nature.
Juan Garces is looking for gallery representation and
promotion his art.
