Acuarelas en Gran Formato, which translates to ‘large format watercolors,’ is a study in abstraction and color by Richmond, Virginia-based artist Javier Tapia. Tapia's work features brightly hued geometric forms that tower over the viewer. His work is formed through a process of critique, elimination and destruction. By constantly reinventing the surface of his work until it reaches abstraction, Tapia allows himself to explore subjects from the deeply personal to the mundane, while deliberately avoiding the literal and the narrative.
