Please join us for a wonderful opportunity to hear Chicano artist Gaspar Enriquez speak about his experiences as a Chicano artist, the changes he has seen in the field of Chicano art, and where he sees Chicano art headed in the future. This presentation is the concluding program for the Museum of Art's retrospective exhibition of his work. Gaspar Enriquez is a nationally recognized Chicano artist from El Paso, Texas, who uses an airbrush to create hyper-realistic portraits. His portraits show the humanity of the El Paso Chicano community and the tensions they face when living in a two-culture environment. Enriquez's Chicano heritage is a consistent thread that ties together his work, which reflects his life experiences, the urban environment, and the people of his hometown.
