Bio: Daniel Arthur Mendoza (b. 1989, Sacramento, California) received his MFA from UC
Riverside in 2022. In 2013 he received a BA in Studio Art at UC Davis, and attended the
Chautauqua Institution Schools of the Fine and Performing Arts in Chautauqua, New
York. His work has been exhibited at The Mistake Room (Los Angeles, CA), Human
Resources Los Angeles (Los Angeles, CA), Southern Exposure (San Francisco, CA),

Statement: Daniel Arthur Mendoza is an artist whose work made from cut and sewn secondhand
fabrics and drawings celebrate queer history, joy, friendship and its historical
veiled-ness within the confines of daily life. Exploring themes of intimacy, repression,
and refusal, Mendoza's work reveals a longing to rediscover the past, confront the
weight of patriarchal visual propaganda, and open oneself to potential, soft, and hopeful
futures.
