Robert Garcia, Assembly Line, 2009, Oil on wood panel, 36 x 72 inches
San Francisco based artist Robert Garcia‘s touchingly detailed paintings are born from his upbringing. Raised in a lower class Hispanic community that prided itself with its Chicano attitude, Garcia first drew inspiration from the drawings on letters his uncles sent home from prison and the gang graffiti painted on the walls of his neighborhood. The harsh living conditions suffered by this community continue to inform his painting and all other work.
