My name is Juan Angel Chavez Estrada. I'm a multi-media artist originally from Chihuahua, Mexico. I have have lived in Chicago since 1985.
I work in found objects and make ensamblage sculptures for site-specific street installations. I arrange found objects by following by instincts based on their shape, color and texture giving them another use or
function. I make semi-figurative organic constructions that contrast
public sites where people have transformed board up buildings into free advertizing space. These unclaimed board up advertising sites exist
everywhere throughout urban environments. Therefore, I claim and direct the attention of these places to contemporary, ecological, improvisational, ephemeral, educational, cathartic forms of natural expression.
