LA Campos de la Garza Luis - Falling for FallDescription
Luis de la Garza’s life-long interest in art found him working many years in museums, archives, and libraries managing their collections. Collages and graphic design have been his major artistic output. He participates with other elder community members in San Francisco’s Openhouse art classes taught by Art With Elders instructor Hugh Leeman.
This piece is an expression of what is elicited in the artist when Fall comes around. The color orange permeates his reverie. The rolling hills of northern California come into focus with hues of purple in the sky. Folks in their finery gather around meals and share community and family. Gratitude abounds for having access to that food. These imaginary responses are formed in at his home alone as he continues to face cautionary precautions brought upon by virus variants. Acrylic paint and cutouts from magazines and junk mail were used to create this collage.
