Salvador Dominguez was born in 1985 in Zacatecas, Mexico, and grew up in Pomona, California. He now lives and works in Chicago, Illinois-where he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. Like many first-generation immigrants, language is an important part of Dominguez’s narrative. Not just in terms of communication but also in its relevance within a broader contemporary American culture.

Recent solo and group exhibitions include de boer (Los Angeles, CA), Andrew Rafacz (Chicago, IL), Western Exhibitions (Chicago, IL), DePaul Art Museum (Chicago, IL), Lubeznik Center for the Arts (Michigan City, IN), Ralph Arnold Gallery at Loyola University (Chicago, IL), Walker Art Gallery (Garnett, KS), National Museum of Mexican Art (Chicago, IL), Carroll University (Waukesha, WI), One After 909 (Chicago, IL), Thomas Masters Gallery (Chicago, IL), and the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (Chicago, IL).
