RENE GARCIA, JR.

December 8, 2008 posts No Comments

René Garcia, Jr. was born in Los Angeles in 1973 and was raised in a rural suburb of Southern California’s Inland Empire. His formative surroundings were defined by immigrant ranchers, citrus groves, and low desert horse and motocross culture. Fine arts came naturally to him, and after studying film and literature at the University of California at Santa Cruz René moved to San Francisco and began a career in animation production. Working in animated film production led René from San Francisco to New York, to Berlin and back again, and presented him the unique opportunity of collaborating with exceptional artists of every caliber from around the world. With gained perspective came gained confidence and in 2001 René dedicated himself to creating his own art full time.

René draws upon a broad palette of established techniques, media, and experience in an effort to re-imagine popular art. An accomplished painter, graphic designer, illustrator, sculptor and stereo photographer, it is his large format sculptural glitter paintings that have drawn the most recognition. His paintings are carefully handcrafted for maximum impact, with some pieces taking over 100 hours to complete. Glitter demands interface; it must be witnessed first-hand in order to appreciate how it sparkles. René exploits this fact in an effort to create art that is truly unique by design. His glitter pieces are highly reflective changes in lighting and movement add vibrancy, depth and dimension. These works are deliberately difficult to reproduce or photograph and must be seen firsthand to be believed.

René introduced his work in 2002 in a solo exhibition at San Francisco’s New Black Gallery. His distinctive paintings gained the immediate attention of San Francisco curators, and René followed quickly with solo shows at Glama-Rama!, Diesel (Flagship store), Capella Event Center, and Lo-fi Customs Gallery. A 2004 exhibition at Seattle’s Roq LaRue gallery drew large crowds as his controversial painting “Superman” was featured on the cover of The Stranger, the nations most widely distributed weekly paper.

René has also gained the attention of various interior designers. His paintings are prominently displayed in many distinguished home and business interiors around the world, including San Francisco’s Frisson, and Bistro 1689. Recently René was commissioned to create customized gifts for presenters at the 2005 Emmy Awards. He helped to stage a reception party for the Beastie Boys documentary “Awesome: I Fuckin’ Shot That” at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, he staged a solo exhibition of unique sand sculptured paintings at the 2006 Independent Spirit Awards, and he created “1970’s Time Capsule” to benefit school music programs that was featured at the 2006 Coachella Music Festival. His work was last seen at Project: Studios in Los Angeles.

René continues to live and work in San Francisco. He has recently married and welcomed a beautiful son, René Valentino Garcia, III. Look out world.

Chor Boogie

December 8, 2008 posts 1 Comment

Internationally acclaimed virtuoso of spray-paint Chor Boogie presents his solo show: Romanticism, where imagination and emotion meet the healing power of color therapy. Having emerged in part from the world of ‘Graffiti Art,’ Chor profoundly expounds on the genre in style, technique, form, composition, and conceptual underpinnings, as he can no longer be simply categorized as such. Viewers often find it nearly unbelievable that his masterful works are created almost solely from spray-paint. Drawing inspiration from the the 18th century Romantic Movement in art with it’s focus on the natural state, emotion, and eros, Chor Boogie presents us with his fresh, modern Romanticism.

Opening night only Chor presents a live installation piece The Romantic Immaculate Conception in collaboration with guest artist and fiance, Bast. Live goddesses become the breathing, moving canvases for Chor’s artistic expressions as they find absolute freedom within the borders a frame. Surprise interactive elements command awareness at all time, the senses being the gateway to awakening. Fueled by the passion of their relationship, this piece is represents the love, co-creation, synergy, and interpersonal Romanticism that is possible within a great love.
Excerpt from Chor Boogie’s Artist Statement:

“[Regarding] The artistic differences and politics of this spray-paint culture: In my work I bring an understanding of the STREETS, as they are where I come from, the STREETS are my urban canvas, the STREETS are where I practiced daily. Contemplating the influence of life in the streets is there and always will be, but so is the realization that the horizon is much broader and the stepping out of my box into new worlds. My mission is to uplift this spray paint element to a more visionary and fine artist perspective while maintaining a balance, keeping the respect of choice alive.

THERES ONLY ONE EMOTION THATS LOVE…. RELEASE THE ATTACHMENTS AND CREATE… OUR LIVES ARE WORKS OF ART IN THE BEGINNING TO THE END….”
About Chor Boogie:

Chor Boogie a.k.a. Jason Hailey was born in 1979 and hails from Oceanside, California, a small city by the sea in San Diego county. A self-taught artist, his drive and passion fueled his independent study of Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Rembrandt and more modern artists like Klimt, Van Gogh, Dali, this combined with influences by modern day spray paint “mentors” of street-art culture such as Phase2, Vulcan, Coma, Sake, Apex, Pose2, which in turn helped guide his lifestyle into a life itself. A deep spiritual healing and recovery from addiction nearly a decade ago transformed his life and has had a major impact in his life-affirming style of color therapy and techniques of creative innovativeness. Chor Boogie moved to San Francisco in 2007 and took the leap to pursue a full time career in art.

Awards include Best Public Mural 2007 for The Merit Building in Minneapolis, in collaboration with VULCAN, APEX and PHASE2, Best Show of the Year 2006 at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and an award from City of Vista in 2005 for contribution to beautifying public space. He has pieces in the permanent collections at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and The New Children’s Museum of San Diego in collaboration with POSE2. His visionary works ignites the hearts and minds of the masses world wide with commissioned public works in San Diego, New York City, San Francisco, Minneapolis, China, Dubai, Mexico, and Australia.

“…Many fans and artists are saying that spray [paint] art is a movement on its way to becoming the new cubism of our age – and leading the pack is Chor Boogie… It’s easy to see why his work is acclaimed.”
