Gaspar
Enríquez |
El Paso-born
Gaspar Enríquez received his art training in Los Angeles, at
the University of Texas at El Paso where he received a Bachelor
of Arts degree, and at the New Mexico State University, where
he received a Master of Arts degree. Enríquez teaches art at
Hispanic Bowie High School on the El Paso/Juárez border. His
students often provide inspiration for his work. Enríquez has
been included in numerous exhibitions, including the nationally
touring CARA-Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation 1965-1985.
He provides a significant voice for people of the communities
along the U.S.-Mexico border.
In describing one of his works, Enriquez said, "one is born
a Mexican-American, but one chooses to be a Chicano." Politically
charged, the Chicano lifestyle has been passed from one generation
to another. It has survived wars, prisons, and strife.
