Christian Garcia Olivo: 'Interlaced'
Visual art | I love the way San Diego-based artist Christian Garcia-Olivo uses "paint skins" as material in his sculptures, and he has a new exhibit at Liberty Station's Gallery 201 curated by The Hill Street Country Club and Dinah Poellnitz. Poellnitz is currently the inaugural curator-in-residence at Arts District Liberty Station.
Artwork by Christian Garcia-Olivo from "Interlaced," opening Sept. 14 at Gallery 201.
In this exhibition, "interlace" indicates the complex and delicate interaction and cause-and-effect that exists between identity and culture — and a disruption of the boundaries surrounding identity. In one work, Garcia-Olivo has woven what appears to be drizzled and dried strands of paint, forming a striking acrylic textile.
