Focusing on the repetition of history, the Déjà Vu presents continually relevant paintings, prints and drawings created throughout Chagoya’s career, 2004-2025. In his reproving and witty works, Chagoya employs modern and ancient imagery from the United States, Mesoamerica and the Middle East to illustrate the ills of Western colonialism. Contrasting highly saturated pop culture characters with indigenous Aztec symbols, he illustrates the cross-border cultural divide and the increasing cartoonishness of American politics.
