Charles Bojórquez
  • Biography

    From Mount Washington, California, Chaz Bojórquez was a street artist from the late 1960s to 1986, when he quit illegal tagging or spray painting graffiti in public places. His tagging involved creating a symbol representative of him and the streets, a stylized skull called Senor Suerte. He is unique in that he is one of the few street artists who transitioned to gallery representation.

    He has spent time in Mexico and attended the Chouinard Art Institute in 1966, just before graduating from high school.

    His work is in the National Museum in Washington DC and the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
