Artist Statement:
Printmaker Justin Luis Diaz's
work confronts the struggles
of creating and preserving the
unique and fleeting artist's
mark through concerns and
limitations specific to the
medium of printmaking. Woodcut
prints, reversed paintings on
assorted translucent surfaces,
artist books, wood carvings
and textured enamel inks are
some of the modes Diaz
inhabits within his widely
varied practice. Through these
modes, Diaz pulls from a vast
pool of imagery, ranging
anywhere from enduring themes
of nature or non-objective
abstract expressionism, to
fleeting imagery referencing
Japanese robots, Anime, or
human anatomy. Diaz's work may
be found in various
collections and he has
exhibited nationally in Los
Angeles and New York City....
