Artist Statement:
Although global policy plays a
very important part in his
world view, García y Más is
not a political painter in any
narrow sense. His pictures
deal with contemporary issues,
often in a satirical mode, and
need to be ‘read’ with
insight. His painting “The
Lion Tamers” (1985) – a
striking example of his
political expression - now
hangs in the permanent
exhibition 'A Walk Through Two
Thousand Years of German
History” in the Deutsches
Historisches Museum (German
Historical Museum) in Berlin.
His figurative, strongly
linear compositions have their
roots in Pittura Metafisica
and Surrealism, thus forging a
link with Giorgio de Chirico
and René Magritte. Yet, the
focus of his
critical-realistic artwork is
rather more on the problematic
social and political issues of
the day; the point is made by
means of alienation, irony and
wit, often in a macabre and
even sardonic manner. From his
earthy, powerful yet cool
‘valeurs’ and his detailed
compositions abounding in
figures, García y Más turns in
his oil paintings to an
increasingly intense and
radiant use of colour with a
poster-like intensity. This
determines the scenario of his
canvases, which is now
restricted to a few essential
figures.
