DAMIAN CHÁVEZ
DAMIAN CHÁVEZ (b.1976) is an artist from Los Angeles. His varied interests led him to study in Florence, Prague, and Paris before he attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Center College of Design, CA. His signature art work consists of nudes, portraits and allegories with an increasing tendency for color and the carefully designed picture plane incorporating a strong emphasis on ornament.
The mostly female symbolic figures and portraits stand in as depictions of people but also as a psychological and allegorical device-“Using the feminine persona allows me a freedom not attainable by other means”.
