JOHN CRUZ

“When you look at an object or person and find its banality and its strangeness at the same time, that’s the moment I’m interested in capturing – the absurdity of that moment is what I find humorous. If I can convey this to someone viewing my work, if someone can take pause and perhaps laugh to themselves, I consider that success.”

John Cruz grew up in New Braunfels and attended Texas State University. He currently lives and works in Austin, TX. John draws inspiration from both his travels and pop culture, referencing everyday objects and situations in an attempt to find a common thread to which everyone can relate.
