Biography

[edit]

Javier Tapia was born in 1957 in Lima, Peru, and grew up in a period of upheaval when guerrilla warfare dominated political and social movements across the country. He moved to the United States in the 1980s, witnessing various phases of humanity: good and evil, intellectual and primitive, connected and separate. Tapia takes these Studio themes as abstract shapes and broad strokes to serve as a metaphor for chaos and control, or structure and disorder. In the tradition of the Peruvian Textile, he overlaps, subtracts, and reworks the watercolors, flipping the paper out as bold colors emerge like carvings. The active ingredients emit physically; Work becomes energetic, on the verge of chaos, but organized in the constraints of paperwork.[1]

From 1984 to 1987, Tapia studied in the US and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from the University of Texas at Austin.[2] At the University of Texas, he was the recipient of a Presidential Scholarship.

In 2015, Javier Tapia worked as an associate professor in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Typography at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond, Virginia.[3]

In 2019, Javier Tapia joined the staff of Virginia Commonwealth University. The school has also exhibited the department's art to view Javier's work.[4]

Type of Works

[edit]

Most of Tapia works are Watercolor Phrase Art, abstract watercolor paintings to nudge the whole painting in realism. With Tapia's style working on the screen into watercolor paint, plaster with lots of stains and stains. There are color gaps and grainy, unsightly lines. Painting seems like endless ideas, and he can give viewers a lot of imagination.

As an art instructor, Tapia seems to see students' weaker efforts as a personal insult, so he tries his best to make his student into something new and better.[5] Tapia overlapped, subtracted, and reworked the watercolor layers, creating dynamic compositions that could be distinguished from the work of thousands of other contemporary painters and student painters.
