Royse

Contemporary

presents "GOLDEN

HOUR", the solo exhibition of renowned artist Gennaro Garcia. This exhibition showcases a multi-media collection of his latest artwork with gold leaf. It highlights a variety of paintings, monosilk prints and giclees, which are fresh and dynamic.

He masterfully fuses the vibrant color palette of his childhood in Mexico with his impeccable

world-class

skill,

utilizing

a

combination of techniques, blending old and new world.

This exhibition highlights the artist's distinctive style, fresh voice, engaging subject matter and vivid creations. "Art sets me free and allows me to share my passion", states Garcia.

"He Infuses his work with familiar imagery and subjects that are inspired by his dual identities as both Mexican and American giving us a true authentic Latino immigrant perspective," explains Royse.

It has been such a pleasure and honor to work with Garcia over the last decade on numerous exhibitions and projects. Gennaro strives to create art in every technique, style, color, texture, always evolving within his art", states Curator, Nicole Royse.

Garcia is a native of San Luis, Sonora, Mexico, migrating to Arizona in his early twenties with drive, passion and the desire to create art.

As a seasoned artist, advocate, and chef Garcia has brilliantly melded together all of his passions.

He is the recipient of several awards including the Masters

of

the

Southwest

Award presented by the Phoenix Home & Garden

and

the Hispanic

Heritage

Award presented by Cox Communications and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

He is the resident artist at Xico Inc.- Latin & Native American Arts Organization. His work is featured in numerous galleries and private collections in both the United States and Mexico, including representation by Royse Contemporary in Scottsdale.

He has bridged his love and passion for the arts and the culinary world by venturing into the restaurant design field.

He has worked on many restaurants: Barrio Queen, Tio Chano, El Sonorense, Ghost Ranch, Salt, Galaxy Taco and is the Co-Owner of Taco Chelo in Downtown Phoenix, and the soon to open Tempe location.
