A cartography of the body: Forms and ideas in the work of Daniel García

Abstract

As part of my research into the visual arts and their relationship with other disciplines, I'm interested in approaching the work of the Argentinean artist Daniel García, given that his production, made up mainly of paintings and drawings, has over time incorporated other formats or devices that go beyond his original field of action. In this sense, his work admits the qualification of heterogeneous, thinking not only in terms of the materiality or the media used, but also considering the variety of issues he includes in his work. 

What I propose in this article is a review of García's work, with a focus on those problems that gradually developed within his artistic project: body, representation and memory.
