Enrique Oroz (1965, Ciudad Obregón, Sonora) is a visual artist who constantly addresses themes fundamental to humanity — religion, eroticism, violence, and consumption.

​

Largely self-taught, Enrique Oroz is a painter of remarkable freedom whose images carry strong echoes of the great masters, alongside bold insertions of popular culture icons. As Rubén Bonet describes it: "atmospheres that evoke the grotesque of Goya combined with a low-budget Warhol, with nods to the neo-expressionist theatrics of Pollock." The glorification of alcoholism as a way of life is evident in his works and in the way the artist sees the world, yet this does not diminish the extraordinary control he exercises over his execution.

​

Enrique Oroz has exhibited in Guadalajara at the Galería de Arte Moderno, the Museo de las Artes of the University of Guadalajara, Casa Vallarta, the Ex Convento del Carmen, the Museo Raúl Anguiano, and the Instituto Cultural Cabañas, among other venues. His solo exhibition Bizarro was presented in 2008 at the Galería de la Secretaría de Hacienda in Mexico City, and the Museo de Arte de Zapopan (MAZ) exhibited his show A Mano Armada in 2012. Abroad, he has exhibited at Les Beaux-Arts de Saint-Étienne, France, in 2006, and at the Tony Wolfenberger Workshop in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2007.

​

His work forms part of the Colección del Pueblo de Jalisco and the permanent collection of the Museo Álvar Carrillo Gil. Enrique Oroz was a member of the National System of Creators of the National Council for Culture and the Arts from 2014 to 2016.
