José Galván Martínez

(b. 1988, Mexico City, MX)

Galván Martínez is a Chilango visual artist based in Oxnard, CA.

Galván Martínez received a BA in Studio Art from California State University, Channel Islands and is currently working on his MFA at California State University, Northridge.

His work is an amalgamation of decades of assimilation to American culture, memories of his native Mexico, constant relocations and commutes.

His practice is further informed by the subversive nature and aesthetics of urbanism, graffiti, street art, and punk rock.
