Born in 1954 to immigrant working-class Puerto Rican parents in Brooklyn, New York, Juan Sánchez is one of the most significant Nuyorican visual artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Sánchez emerged as a central figure within a generation of artists using diverse media to explore ethnic, racial, and national identity as well as social justice in the 1980s and 90s. While Sánchez first gained recognition for his large multi-layered mixed-media collage paintings addressing issues of Puerto Rican identity and colonisation, his innovative oeuvre has expanded in terms of both medium and thematics; Sánchez now alludes to international subjects – including U.S. interventions abroad, apartheid, and nuclear disarmament – in addition to local and personal interests, through painting, photography, printmaking, and video.
