NXTHVN Artist Spotlight featuring 2021-2022 Studio Fellow John Guzman. In this mini-doc, John invites us into his NXTHVN studio and shares insights into his creative process and practice. John Guzman is a painter from San Antonio, Texas. He works with large-scale abstract figurative oil paintings that are responsive to his surroundings and the impact of him dealing with people living a self destructive lifestyle. His work uses deconstructed elements of the body to interpret the mental and physical deterioration witnessed throughout the course of their struggle. He sees his work as a form of documentation, the effect made on his individual character that contributes to his imagery. His figures are often positioned within domestic architecture, confined to inform the inextricable links between the environment and its inhabitants.
