White Buffalo Gallery proudly presents “CONTINUUM” by Terese
Garcia for the month of January.
Terese is a non-representational process painter who has shown
all over California. She’s represented by Gloria Delson
Contemporary Arts in Los Angeles CA and the Gallery At Ventana.
She’s also an artist member of the San Jose Institute of
Contemporary Art and the Pacific Grove Art Center. Her work is
about texture, composition, palette and atmosphere where there
are no boundaries to what can be said. Her palettes themselves
are composed of ‘discovered colors’ made up of layers of paints
and other natural and human made materials that cannot be found
in a tube of paint. They are the end result of a process, which
is why she so aptly refers to them “discovered colors.”
“My artwork is informed by nature, the unknown, impermanence
and humility. I am a process painter and my work is experimental.
I use the “process” to create my paintings. For instance, I may
begin by using a blue paint and then I will layer and layer until
the painting starts to speak to me and I’m then guided by these
layers to perhaps draw markings with paper clips or old pens
until I have really built a substantial surface that speaks
strongly and powerfully to me. At that moment, a shape may appear
and or no shape may come, which catches me off guard in a
surprisingly positive way and then there will be a true feeling
of completeness of the piece that allows me to see and experience
a painting that I made that I have never seen before. This
resulting observation, exploration and spontaneity unfolds
naturally and none of my work is premeditated. In fact, my work
is never premeditated, mentally sifted or dwelt upon. Each piece
originates in the unique mom ent when everything falls into place
as it happens. This process is part of my psyche, soul and self.
I use many different mediums when making a painting that
sometimes gives it a sculptural effect which is no surprise since
I used to sculpt in clay and stone before painting.”
