ABOUT THE WORK

Documenting the people in his life, Emmanuel Garibay creates social scenarios that are as eerie as they are compelling. It can be said that Garibay is an artist who developed from the intense interaction with several organizations of young artists in which he was involved. Garibay’s multileveled symbolism which traverses various cultural contexts makes for an art that continually proffers new insight. This thematic complexity is borne by a richly painterly style, with the suggestion of the linear application of colors among other techniques. These pictorial devices create a web of glistening transparent tissue that interconnects elements throughout the entire visual field and creates a sense of emergence through time and spatial density.
