Rupert Garcia
Biography
Rupert Garcia is an artist committed to creating artwork not only as a means of achieving aesthetic ends, but also as a viable way of addressing social and political concerns. Through his bold silkscreens and layered pastels and paintings, Garcia hopes to catalyze discussion and debate in a broad audience about the pressing issues that have faced the late twentieth century (and the beginning of the twenty-first). Born in French Camp, California, and raised in Stockton, Garcia began drawing at an early age, copying images out of magazines. He went on to study art at Stockton College, but left in 1962 to enroll in the airforce. After serving in Thailand during the Vietnam War, Garcia returned to California where in 1966 he enrolled in San Francisco State University’s art program, receiving a B.A. (1968), and M.A. (1970) in painting. At this time, he became actively involved in the civil rights and anti-war movements. During the student strikes of 1968-1969, Garcia wed his political and artistic interests, as he produced prints in support of the United Farm Workers, civil rights, and land rights. In formal terms, these works borrowed Pop Art’s vivid colors, high degree of contrast, and use of flat planes of color in tandem with printed images drawn from the mass media. However, rather than celebrating, or documenting the status quo of consumer culture in the manner of many Pop artists, Garcia’s prints and posters sought to subvert mass media conventions and use them as a means of raising political awareness. His rich colors and impeccable design sense draw the viewer in, only to introduce, upon closer inspection, a powerful critique of any number of challenging socio-politial issues. Alongside his printed works, Garcia has since 1975 been involved in creating large, multi-paneled pastels and oil paintings that elaborate on his political concerns as well as addressing his interest in challenging notions of folk and high art. In 1981, Garcia received an M.A. in art history from the University of California at Berkeley. In his work, art historical images mingle with images drawn from contemporary culture as well as abstract elements to create compelling pieces that reflect Garcia’s ongoing engagement in critically addressing moral and spiritual as well as aesthetic dilemmas.
Magnolia Editions is proud to have been able to assist Garcia in realizing mixed-media prints, and most recently, pigmented ink-jet prints on Japanese paper and silk, as well as pigmented ink-jet prints of commissioned posters.
The work of Rupert Garcia has been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America. His most recent exhibitions include retrospectives at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; and The Alternative Museum, New York, NY (traveled to the San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose, CA). He is represented by the Rena Bransten Gallery in San Francisco, CA, and his work is held in the collections of, among others, the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, San Francisco, CA; the Corcoran Gallery, Washington DC; El Museo del Barrio, New York, NY; the Mexican Museum, San Francisco, CA; the M.H. deYoung Memorial Museum, San Francisco, CA; the National Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA. He currently teaches at the San Jose State University, School of Art and Design.
