Bubble-Blowing Arms Are Bursting from LA Walls

Sergio Garcia creates the unorthodox. “I have always enjoyed the use of the unconventional as a base for my artwork,” he writes in an artist's statement. His sculptures of disembodied hands grasping bubble wands and beer bottles, poking out where a human head should be, are a few of the surreal and strangely nostalgic works in his oeuvre.

The bubbles are actually hand blown glass, Garcia tells The Creators Project. “I don't really sketch them out. I let them be more free form,” he adds. “It normally takes a few times to get it to flow in a natural way.” He forms the wands out of metal and then colors them with automotive paint to create “a plastic feel.”

The shadows his pieces cast as they jut out from the walls are just as crucial to his work. “Light is the core of my artwork,” he writes. “Without light there is no art. Without art there is no life. Amen, brother.”
