Past Exhibits
Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 02:44AM Over the last couple of years, Garro has been exhibiting on the fringes of the Pop- Surrealist movement, gaining momentum, attention and collectors.
Working in his fantastic mountaintop studio in the Catskills, Garro devotes 100 percent of his painting time making art "for walls", while making unique frames and restoring his house and property. The open space and beauty of his surroundings are a constant inspiration, and the extensive flower beds on the property are a welcome distraction from long hours behindthe easel.
Garro has also come full circle with his technique. After 20 years as almost exclusively an acrylic painter, he has gone back to his roots and has broken out the oil paints again to finish his paintings. “I love the immediacy and energy of working with acrylics, but I feel oils fit better with my present temperament. Maybe it’s the laid back pace of living in such a rural area.” Although it seems like the deep back-country, Garro is only 120 miles out of Manhattan, So getting a dose of City exhilaration is only a day trip away.
