We are pleased to announce the release of a new color lithograph by Enrique Chagoya, “Life at the Border of Language”.
The artist describes this work as follows:
“In this print, a geographic/physical border, such as the US/Mexico border wall, is a symbol of many other walls that exist between people. These other walls may be less obvious (like gender, class, ethnic, religious, and national origin stereotypes, among others), but as real as the physical ones. Yet, we are all one human species, despite our external differences. We realize this when we decide to cross over any border. The experience of crossing expands what language (visual or phonetic) can explain only in a limited way. Among the characters lining the wall in my print, the child represents an innocent mind still free of misrepresentations. Ancient line drawings between the portraits portray how pre-Columbian people represented themselves.”
“Life at the Border of Language” is a color lithograph, edition of 25 plus proofs, 21 1/2 x 36″ and costs $2,800 plus packing and shipping.
