Jorge Mujica

Jorge Mujica B. 1982
(Mexico City, Mexico)

Mujica began his career traveling around Southern California with his father who was a photojournalist. Navigating the assimilation of his dual culture, Mujica’s desire to create has occupied public space with a concentration on civic activism using influences from Aztec iconography to convey ideas of contemporary art. Mujica’s avant-guard attitude advances painting through the removal of authority dictated by a painting’s use of a wall and encourages public engagement in non-traditional settings. Mujica’s freestanding paintings critique the function of painting as a specter occupying our physical space, creating visual ruptures provoking critical thinking.

Mujica has exhibited in International art fairs Qipo Art Fair (Mexico City) Project Spaces Copyright (Berlin), and has a public sculpture at the Museum of Latin American Art (Long Beach.) He has completed a MFA in Painting from Yale University, a MA in Visual & Critical Studies from the Art Institute of Chicago and holds BA’s in Political Science and Art History from Cal State Bakersfield.
