Biographical Sketch

"For the most part, my works and those of the other Chicano/Indio artistas are not what the so-called experts call classic, or even technically brilliant. They are, however, works rooted in our concern for our people and culture, thus giving them a vibrant emotional life. The fact that, as a people, we are tied to the earth by our indigenous heritage and, ironically, by the great U.S. society's penchant for offering us nino farm worker occupation in our own occupied ancestral lands leads me to strive with my teaching and art to influence and ultimately give consequence to our present educational system, whether inside or outside the mainstream." –Ricardo Favela

Born in the San Joaquin Valley to migrant farm worker parents, Ricardo Favela well understood the experience of American Mexican immigrants. He went on to attend college at the College of the Sequoias in Visalia, and then California State University Sacramento where he received his B.A. in 1971. It was during the pursuit of his first degree that he became a fixture of Chicano Art. Favela along with Rudy Cuellar, Jose Montoya, Juanishi Orosco and Esteban Villa founded the activist artist group the Rebel Chicano Art Front, which later became known as the Royal Chicano Air Force, or RCAF. The RCAF was best known for its paintings, murals and posters but the group established itself as a collective through its use of wry humor and biting wit to express difficult cultural dialectics. The RCAF managed to tackle the most difficult problems of the day, problems dealing with the unique placement of Chicano identity, while maintaining a forward looking optimism.

The RCAF brought to light the fundamental contradictions of a society which ignored the obvious cultural symbols and underpinnings of the growing Mexican American population. Favela in particular highlights this dichotomy with pieces that often featured the calaveras in the place of primary figures. By doing so he seemed to intimate at the spirit of the Chicano just beneath the surface in everything we see. He often attached calaveras to items with familiar contexts such as in the 1970 piece Police Brutality where calavera policeman arrests a protestor or the Official RCAF Ashtray where three calaveras each one representing an individual artist in the collective, grace an emblematic ashtray. Later on in a 1975 piece El Centro de Artistas Chicanos, two calaveras stand in duty for two obviously Chicano artists who seem poised in some artistic discussion capturing the semiotic juxtaposition of the ancient symbols with the new.

Ricardo Favela's professional teaching career began as director and art administrator during his tenure at el Centro de Artistas Chicanos in Sacramento. In 1982 he began teaching art professionally at CSU Sacramento. He received his Masters of Arts from CSU Sacramento in 1989 and began working in the art department as a professor. Ricardo Favela also traveled and gave lectures, organizing and curating various art exhibits and retrospectives. He was the senior artist for CEMA's Proyecto C.A.R.I.D.A.D (Chicano Art Resources, Information, Development, and Dissemination) and his exhibitions have shown at the Oakland Art Museum, San Francisco Museum of Art, the California State Capitol and the San Francisco Art Institute among many others. Ricardo Favela's death on July 15, 2007 was a major loss to the Chicano Art Movement.
