Enrique Chagoya
born Mexico City, Mexico, 1953
Chagoya was born and raised in Mexico City. His father, a bank employee by day and artist by night, encouraged his interest in art by teaching Chagoya color theory and how to sketch at a very early age. As a young adult, Chagoya enrolled in the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, where he studied political economy and contributed political cartoons to union newsletters. At age 26, he moved to Berkeley, California and began working as a free-lance illustrator and graphic designer then enrolled in the San Francisco Art Institute, where he earned a BFA in printmaking in 1984. He then pursued his MA and MFA at the University of California, Berkeley, graduating in 1987. He has been exhibiting his work nationally and internationally for over two decades with a major retrospective organized by the Des Moines Art Center in Iowa in 2007 that traveled to UC Berkeley Art Museum and to the Palms Spring Art Museum in 2008 and in 2013, a major survey at Centro Museum ARTIUM, in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. He is currently Full Professor at Stanford University’s department of Art and Art History.
