DENVER GARZA
Denver Garza (b. 1987) uses painting, assemblage, and fabric to create art that reflects his interest in philosophy. Referencing different psychological frameworks, Garza believes that social rituals and interactions shape the identity of our society. His intricate works present visual phenomenologies that explore and analyze modern behavior. He works primarily with textiles and extends his practice to drawing, painting, poetry, and other experimental formats. He facilitates community workshops geared towards self-awareness and mindfulness as part of an approach to contemporary art that links forms of expression with spiritual bearings. Garza was featured in the 2023 edition of CIMB Artober Art Fair in Kuala Lumpur.
