Instructor Bio:
Daniel González is a Chicano graphic artist from the community of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles. Daniel began exploring art making at an early age through community art workshops creating murals. He began his practice as a printmaker while he was studying at the California College of Arts and Crafts, through workshops at the San Francisco Center for the Book and at Mission Gráfica at the Mission Cultural Center. Daniel completed his formal studies at UCLA and his artwork is housed in special collections internationally, on permanent display as public art at Metro’s La Cienega Station and at the LA County Natural History Museum as part of the Becoming L.A. permanent exhibit.
His work is informed by his experience as the child of immigrant parents, incomplete local histories and personal narratives of life between Los Angeles and Zacatecas. Through his printmaking practice, Daniel creates imagery that is rich in history and invents a visual narrative that is completely his own. Currently, Daniel’s work is part of the Smithsonian’s traveling exhibition, Printing the Revolution: Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now and teaches printmaking and letterpress at the Barnsdall Art Center in Los Angeles and The Armory Art Center in Pasadena.
