Look at the person opposite you. Just a quick glance… Try not to stare.

Think of the sentient being they are at this exact event in time.

Perhaps there’s no one… even better.

Envision the once in the universe entity inside of you… feeling the experience of living your one and only movie — momentous, frame by frame.

Johnny Galceran is a U.S. based artist creating cinematography that projects, bonds and interacts with his paintings, drawings, and silkscreens incorporating the same subject in both the video and the art. Galceran’s work deals with the mystery of existence and its mystic chord to each point in time. He calls this form of theme and art Textured Eventism. 

Textured Eventism uses analog and digital combined to reconstruct and form a new view of the relationship between time and place, stasis and movement, the present and memory, and solidity and the ephemeral. The art is formed within an event of motion, space, light, and time.

Galceran designed and made art for productions by Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton, Warner Brothers Studios, Midway Video Games, and the El Paso Herald Post.  In addition, he was a semi-finalist in the Chesterfield Writer’s Film Project, sponsored by Amblin Entertainment and Paramount Pictures. He was also in the top 20 percent at the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition and was a recipient of the Panavision New Filmmaker program. He’s been featured on NPR, Glasstire Texas Visual Art, and the El Paso Times.

Of the Multitude of Influences:

“For those of us who believe in physics, the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion". — Albert Einstein, physicist.

“It’s the simultaneous quality. When you look at a painting, you get everything immediately. In painting you get the beginning, middle and the end – and then you get the beginning, middle and end again.” —Julian Schnabel, artist, filmmaker.

 “There is a fundamental distinction between a still picture and a movie… You bring your time to the painting; the film imposes it's time on you.” — David Hockney, artist.

“My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat or in film's case 'run on' manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.” — Andy Warhol, artist.
