Enrique Garcia

Artist Website

Enrique Garcia’s work analyzes the mechanisms that mediate urban movement and the historical processes shaping our cities. Situated between sculpture, photography, and found objects his work explores notions of erasure, inscription, duplication, birth, and decay. By examining history and emphasizing deterioration, his work challenges the perception of permanence and points towards the natural tendency of things, of all scales, to fall apart and be re-coded anew. In an ongoing series, Garcia examines the urban vestiges of the evangelization of the American continent. In this series, aerial views of utopian city squares are combined with imagery of colonial ruins, church bell towers, and weathered objects.

Enrique Garcia (b. 1995) is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Garcia’s work was included in SculptureCenter’s 2022 In Practice exhibition: literally means Collapse curated by Camila Palomino.
