Artist Talk: Friday, October 10th, 7:00PM

Salvador Dominguez was born in 1985 in Zacatecas, Mexico, and grew up in Pomona, California. He now lives and works in Chicago, Illinois, where he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. Like many first-generation immigrants, language is an important part of Dominguez’s narrative. Not just in terms of communication but also in its relevance within a broader contemporary American culture. Employing pattern, vibrant shifting colors and abstracted pictographic imagery, Dominguez’s works occupy a unique space between painting, textile-making and functional design.

Dominguez’s 2024 solo presentation with De Boer Gallery at the New Art Dealers Association
(NADA) Contemporary Art Fair in Miami was recognized by ARTnews in their top 6 selections
from the fair, writing “In his works that take on art history from the Renaissance to Pop art,
Dominguez imbues his own sense of cultural history to provide a sharp commentary on growing
up in the United States as the child of immigrants.”

Recent solo and group exhibitions include De Boer Gallery (Los Angeles, CA), Andrew Rafacz (Chicago, IL), Western Exhibitions (Chicago, IL), DePaul Art Museum (Chicago, IL), Lubeznik Center for the Arts (Michigan City, IN), Ralph Arnold Gallery at Loyola University (Chicago, IL), Walker Art Gallery (Garnett, KS), National Museum of Mexican Art (Chicago, IL), Carroll University (Waukesha, WI), One After 909 (Chicago, IL), Thomas Masters Gallery (Chicago, IL), and the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (Chicago, IL).
