About Chaz Bojórquez

Charles “Chaz” Bojórquez is a pioneering American artist whose work occupies a foundational position in the history of graffiti, lettering, and street-based art. Widely recognised as the Godfather of Cholo Writing, Bojórquez is among the earliest graffiti artists in the United States and has maintained an active practice since 1969.

Bojórquez was raised in Highland Park, Los Angeles, where he was exposed from an early age to the visual language of placas — hand-painted roll calls, or lists of names, used within Mexican-American communities to mark presence, identity, and territory. In 1969, he created Señor Suerte (Mr. Lucky), a stylised skull stencil that is widely regarded as Los Angeles’ first stencilled graffiti work. Originally painted on a pillar along the Arroyo Seco Parkway, the image became an enduring symbol of protection, mortality, and survival, later spreading through street and prison culture across the city.

Unlike many artists working on the street during this period, Bojórquez combined graffiti practice with rigorous formal training. He studied painting and ceramics at Chouinard Art Institute (now CalArts), painting at California State University Los Angeles, calligraphy at the Pacific Asia Art Museum under Master Yun Chung Chiang, and Pre-Columbian art in Guadalajara, Mexico. This grounding in classical drawing, typography, and global writing systems remains central to his practice. Bojórquez has consistently emphasised drawing as the foundation of his work, applying disciplined draftsmanship and compositional control to letterforms that are precise, deliberate, and culturally resonant.

Before fully committing to fine art, Bojórquez worked professionally in commercial art and graphic design, gaining a deep understanding of typography through advertising and film-related work. In 1979, he undertook a self-directed global research journey, studying writing systems, calligraphy, glyphs, tattoos, and typographic traditions across cultures. Upon returning to Los Angeles in 1980, his work evolved into a distinctive synthesis of Old English typography, Asian calligraphy, and cholo writing, marking a critical transition from the street to canvas.

Bojórquez’s practice has played a significant role in the legitimisation of graffiti as a collectible and institutionally recognised art form. His paintings often layer multiple writing styles and tonal variations, echoing the accumulated marks of urban walls while maintaining formal clarity and balance. His work addresses themes of identity, cultural memory, community, and self-definition, reflecting both personal experience and broader social histories.

His work is held in major permanent collections including the Smithsonian Institution, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA), the de Young Museum, and numerous university and public museum collections across the United States. He has exhibited in over 600 exhibitions internationally and is the author of several influential publications, including Street Writers (1975), The Art and Life of Chaz Bojórquez (2009), and Chaz Bojórquez (2016).

Beyond fine art, Bojórquez’s influence extends into film, fashion, publishing, and design. He has collaborated with international brands including Nike, Converse, and Levi’s, and his lettering has appeared across textiles, objects, and cultural projects worldwide. In recognition of his lasting contribution to art, culture, and visual language, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.

Bojórquez continues to live and work in Los Angeles, maintaining an active studio practice that remains closely connected to the cultural foundations from which his work emerged.
