Enrique Chagoya Art

Art Brokerage specializes in the original prints and paintings of Enrique Chagoya. Enrique Chagoya’s newest prints, “Historie Naturelle des Espécies”, and “La Portentosa Vida de la Muerte II” continue his examination of cultural realities with satire and humor. With an historical lexicon of ideas, beliefs, and myths, Chagoya’s imagery combines disparate and incongruent elements. Cartoon balloons filled with bewildering and amusing ‘artspeak’ quotes hover above character’s heads, uniting his actors in conversation. In this context the quotes become a surreal and satirical self-criticism. Enrique Chagoya is currently Associate Professor of Art at Stanford University, where he received the Dean's Award in the Humanities in 1998. Chagoya's work is shown widely and is in the collections of The LA County Museum, The National Museum of American Art, and The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library among others.
