Untitled (tryptich), 2002
Acrylic enamel on panel
66 x 48 in. each
Garza explains the motivation behind his work by saying,
“The paintings I have been commissioned to create
for the AT&T Center in San Antonio are specific to
the arena’s main tenants – the San Antonio
Spurs, Professional Rodeo and the fans. As a fan of
both Spurs basketball and the sport of rodeo, it was
not hard for me to embrace these two subjects and
then turn the camera (so to speak) on myself for the
painting of a cheering fan leading the crowd. I approached
these canvases in a manner similar to the narrative-based
paintings I have been making for the past several
years. I try to break down the composition to simple
shapes and forms, and then allow the narrative content
to gain momentum through the use of oddly matched
colors and the edges they create.”
Garza received his BFA from the University
of Texas at Austin and his MFA from the San Francisco
Art Institute. He currently splits his time between
Austin and Los Angeles.
