Antonio Lechuga

Antonio Lechuga (b. 1985) is a multidisciplinary artist who was born in Dallas, TX where he currently lives and works. He attended the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in Los Angeles, CA.

Antonio’s practice focuses on the intersection of art, design, architecture and social change. His eclectic choice of materials and processes discuss his American experience as a Tejano living in a constant battle with ancestry erasure. Using research and new technologies, Antonio begins to piece together new narratives of a future for the Mexican-American Tejana while emphasizing and highlighting its rich, deep, and turbulent past.

Lechuga has exhibited at the McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, TX, the 2024 Texas Biennial at the Blaffer Art Museum, Austin, TX, Ballroom Marfa, Marfa, TX, Oak Cliff Cultural Center, Dallas, TX, 500X Gallery, Dallas, TX, and Condo Satellite with Harlesden High Street, London, UK. His work is part of the permanent collections of the Dallas Museum of Art.
