Cisco Jiménez Mexican, b. 1969

Cisco Jiménez attended the Instituto Regional de Bellas Artes and the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana before studying with Bruce Dorfman and Jose Manuel Springer. He was also one of the first Artpace International Artist-in-Residence in the winter of 1995.

Jiménez’s oeuvre consists of various mediums that expose Mexico’s social and political environment concerns. The vibrant colors, rich detail, and often the use of text, create a satiric voice that demands attention. “I consider myself a kind of postmodern Posada. I think that a good artist and a smart artist should consider the good things that he can do or he can express. Talent is only half of it. There is another part, a dark side, an awareness of anxieties and obsessions.” – Cisco Jiménez
