Chaz Bojorquez
Quoting RTEA about this graffiti artist: Chaz Bojorquez believes that true self expression comes from the soul. At an early age, in the 1950's, he experienced the graffiti tradition of the East Los Angeles Mexican-Americans. Los Angeles 'Cholo' style graffiti was dictated by a [time-honored] code of writing. Allegiance to that code of traditional writing brought you respect. In 1968, out of high school with a liberal arts/mathematics diploma, and one year of state college, Chaz enrolled into Chouinard art school (known today as Cal Arts). He also studied Asian calligraphy from Master Yun Chung Chiang (Master Chiang studied under Pu Ju, brother of the last emperor of China). Following these experiences, in 1969 he combined the tradition and honor from Cholo gang graffiti and his education from Chouinard with the spiritual skills of Asian calligraphy. Chaz was one of the first graffiti writers from Los Angeles with his own style. After more than decade of tagging in the streets in the 1970's and early 1980's, came a deeper need to understand: why do we do graffiti? |
