Alvaro Marquez
Xolotl, by Alvaro Marquez

2022

About the Item

Medium: linocut Image size: 12 x 12 inches Edition size: 11 Year: 2022 In Aztec mythology, Xolotl is the god of lightning, death, and fire. He is also considered to be the god of twins, diseases, deformities, and misfortune. Álvaro D. Márquez is a visual artist and part-time professor of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies at Cal State LA. Much of Marquez's work explores art as social inquiry, looking at the history of displacement in the Americas, starting with Indigenous dispossession after European conquest, following through to current issues around gentrification and homelessness. Marquez was born into the working-class migrant community of East Salinas, in California’s Central Coast. Coming from three generations of migrant farm workers, his upbringing in this community informs his work as an artist, researcher, and advocate.
