About the Artist:

John Guzman is a painter born and raised on the South Side of San Antonio, Texas. A self-taught painter, Guzman previously pursued printmaking while studying at the Southwest School of Art. In 2021, the artist presented the solo exhibition I Would Have Killed To See It at Presa House Gallery, curated by Rigoberto Luna, shortly after Guzman was selected as a Studio Fellow at NXTHVN in New Haven, Connecticut. His work has since been featured in distinguished art fairs, including The Armory Show, NYC, and ZONA MACO, CDMX, with New York and Los Angeles- based Sean Kelly Gallery.

Rigoberto Luna is a San Antonio-born independent curator and the co-founder and director of Presa House Gallery in San Antonio, TX. Most recently, Luna curated Soy de Tejas: A Statewide Survey of Latinx Art on view at Centro de Artes in San Antonio, Texas in 2023.
