The
Blaffer
Art
Museum
is
honored
to
present
the
first
solo
museum
exhibition
of
work
by
artist
John
Guzman
(b.
1984).
Flesh
and
Bone
focuses
on
works
produced
in
the
artist’s
hometown
of
San
Antonio
and
the
Texas
debut
of
paintings
completed
during,
and
immediately
following,
time
at
the
NXTHVN
Studio
Fellowship
Program
in
New
Haven,
Connecticut.
As
a
spectator
to
claustrophobic
psychological
and
physical
states
growing
up
in
San
Antonio’s
Southside,
Guzman’s
monumental
paintings
are
a
byproduct
of
experiences,
recordings,
and
environmental
reflections.
The
artist
abstracts
the
human
figure
to
reflect
the
harm
endured
by
the
body,
and
the
unrecognizable
transformation
brought
on
by
years
of
punishment,
addiction,
relapse,
and
self-destruction.
