John Guzman is a painter born in San Antonio, Texas. He works with large-scale abstract figurative oil paintings responsive to his surroundings and the impact of dealing with people living a self-destructive lifestyle. His work uses deconstructed elements of the body to interpret the mental and physical deterioration witnessed throughout the course of their struggle. Guzman’s figures are often positioned within domestic architecture, confined to inform the inextricable links between the environment and its inhabitants. Now based in Connecticut, his work is a form of documentation, the effect place makes on his character that contributes to his palette and imagery.
