SummaryCollage, 23 x 25 inches, includes images of armed forces and words of affirmation. Artwork created in New York Harbor Hospital Creative Arts Program, led by Beryl Brenner. Project: Visions of vets, 2009, referencing the theme: Who is an American veteran? Artwork was displayed at the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Vietnam Era Museum and Education Center. Exhibition label: Wow by Roy Garcia. Roy Garcia’s art work is an exercise in praise of the American veteran. Mr. Garcia offers kudos for those who have served at various points in our history. He utilizes phrases such as “You’re The Greatest”, “Yahoo”, “Excellent”, “Superstar”, “Nice Work” and “You Are Awesome”. The art piece implies that serving in the armed forces is not necessarily associated with politics; but has a separate identity all of its own.
