Artist Profile- Jose Juan Garcia Aguilar
The ceramic work of Demetrio Garcia and his younger brother Jose Juan is richly colored, exquisitely-detailed, and strongly masculine in style. The work of the two brothers is similar, yet different. The biggest differences are that Demetrio's work is more somber in color and spirit; Jose Juan's is brighter and sweeter. Both create work that is very intense, whereas Josefina's work is quite playful and humorous.
