Gabriel Garza is a drawer and sculptor from Los Angeles who has been living in the Bay Area for the last few years. He produces signage that works to give functional encounters with language a sense of poetics. Pamphlets, construction signs, and home-made business cards display an amateur or practical design that he admires. He borrows from these aesthetics, embracing the limitations of commercial design and the poor quality of signage vernacular to make these sign sculptures.

His undergraduate work consisted of many performance based works, which influenced the co-creation of a theatrical work with his mother Theresa Chavez entitled Adobe Punk, which premiered Spring 2022 and will be restaged in Spring 2025.

His curatorial practice includes co-running two projects in the Bay, In Concert (SF) and Thats A More (Oakland), and from 2020-21 he ran Punto Lairs inc in his parents back yard in Silverlake, Los Angeles. He will begin a new project in 2025, Time Collectors.
