A Nomad in Love
title A Nomad in Lovedescription Serigraph on paper, 27.5 in. x 19.5 in. Taller 75 Grados, Mexico City, MX. Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. "A Nomad in Love is a personal narrative. While making this print, I was also working on a painting for an exhibit at the National Museum of Mexican Art about home and community. When I think of home, the image of the mountains comes to mind, so in this print, I depict the Franklin Mountains. These mountains are a sacred indigenous symbol of the thunderbird on them. As a kid, I played at the foot of these mountains, and they make me feel grounded. The image of a hummingbird is inspired by the Mexica (Aztec) tradition that says the spark in our hearts beats like the flight of a hummingbird: steady and self-sustaining. I was in some hard times, personally having lost important people in my life. I was feeling crazy and alone like a coyote howling at the rabbit moon. So I’m telling a love story through symbols and images about heartbreak and anxiety. But there is also some comedy in those wild eyes. Laughing at my loss. There is a saying I know from the work of the artist poet, José Montoya: “La locura cura” (Craziness cures). Laughter heals, and this print cracks me up. I was born in Las Cruces, NM [in 1983] and raised in El Paso, TX. I’ve exhibited in museums, galleries, and community spaces in Chicago, Los Angeles, and throughout the Southwestern region. I have a Visual Studies degree from The University of Texas at Austin, and I’m self-trained in my craft. My multidisciplinary work explores identity, community, and life on the border. My process often involves community collaboration and engagement." — Zeke Peñaartist/creator Peña, Zekesubject Borderlands Frontera Mountains Texas--El Paso Nature in art Environment Ecology Desert Triangle Animals in art Love in art Screen prints Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Esto es un Río
title Esto es un Ríodescription Serigraph on paper, 22 in. x 30 in. Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. "Esto es un Río is a memory of growing up on the border. As a child, I would remember crossing the bridge from El Paso to Juárez and watching people cross the river in makeshift inner-tube rafts. People with jobs in the U.S. side and who didn’t want to get wet would pay lancheros to ferry them across the river every day. I see this as the universal experiences; we all have people who cross boundaries and blaze paths to reach our goals, whatever they may be. For years, political graffiti has been painted on the concrete banks of the border. I decided to use “Esto No Es Una Frontera/ Esto es un Río” as one of many messages painted on the concrete banks for years. The quote is from [The Liberator of Venezuela] Simón Bolívar, who alluded to the use of borders to divide communities instead of uniting them. Bolívar suggested that the overreaching powers in place politically at the time benefitted from the ensuing chaos that occurred once divisions were made and enforced. He further suggested that if one community suffered, the other 'opposite' community suffered, as well. Another graffiti tag appears on one of pillars that support the international bridge. The message was painted by the family of Sergio Adrian Hernandez Guereca, who was shot and killed by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent through a barbed wire border fence near El Paso, Texas. At the time of the shooting, Guereca, a 15-year-old-Mexican national, was standing on the Mexican side of the Mexico-United States border, while the agent was on the American side. The agent claimed after the shooting that he had used deadly force because Guereca had been throwing rocks." — Jesus “Cimi” Alvaradoartist/creator Alvarado, Jesus "Cimi"subject Politics in art Borderlands Frontera Rio Grande Environment Ecology Geography Nature in art Bridges Immigration Immigrants Screen prints Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Howl
title Howldescription Color lithograph on paper, 44.5 in. x 34 in. Luis Jiménez portrays a lone wolf howling at the full moon that rises above snow capped mountains. The wolf’s howl is transformed into the title of the work. Wolves, like this Mexican wolf, communicate with their pack by howling; this vocalization communicates their location and marks their territory; serves as a warning to rivals or signals a threat of intruders. Besides expressing affection through their howling, wolves express other emotions. Here, the “howl” vibrates above, resonating with rage, pain, and warning. Jiménez used the color red to emphasize these strong emotions. Note that the letter “l” in the word “howl” resembles the wolf’s raised right paw. The wolf is enraged as his species is endangered. Humans continue to hunt wolves for pelts and bounty. The wolf also painfully mourns the vanishing Western landscape and the diminishing presence of the Original Americans. The howl is a warning to humanity to protect and preserve the natural landscape and animal life. The Mexican wolf also symbolizes how Mexican immigrants have been hunted by the border patrol and vigilantes at border crossings. This work is a visual metaphor for the artist Jiménez, who for years before he gained critical recognition was perceived as an outsider: a “lone wolf.” Born in El Paso, he was an artist fiercely proud of his Mexican roots who celebrated the everyday culture of the Southwest. He howled especially for his people, Mexicans and Chicanos, and their ongoing struggle for social mobility and social justice in the borderland and beyond. Proud of his Chicano roots, Luis Jiménez (1940 – 2006) was an El Paso, Texas native, best known for his large-scale, brightly colored sculptures immersed in the Chicano iconography of Texas and New Mexico. Jiménez studied art and architecture at The University of Texas in Austin and El Paso. He eventually traveled to Mexico to study the famous Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, and was also influenced by regionalists Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood. After completing school, he went to work for his father making neon signs and car decals. In 1966 Jiménez moved to New York and joined the Pop Art scene, making painted fiberglass figurative works inspired by the everyday lives of Latinos living in the Southwest. His work shows his concern for working-class people and those who have suffered from discrimination. Jimenez was and remains respected in Latino communities for his perspective and narrative of the culture of Mexico and the Southwest. His artwork emulates popular Cholo car culture, demonstrated in his use of fiberglass, spray paint, and imagery consisting of Aztec emperors, border crossing, and vaqueros riding wild broncos. His works are in the collections of the Albuquerque Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the El Paso Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, among others.artist/creator Jiménez, Luissubject Borderlands Frontera Animals in art Wolves Environment Ecology Nature in art Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Air, Earth, Fire, Water
title Air, Earth, Fire, Waterdescription Color lithograph on paper, 42 in. x 57.25 in. Well known Chicano artist Luis Jiménez interpreted the Aztec legend of the two lovers Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl. The warrior Popocatépetl was sent to battle by his king, who wanted to discourage the romance between his daughter Princess Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl. Although the king had promised Popo his daughter’s hand in marriage, he hoped that Popo would die in battle, so he lied to his daughter that her lover was dead. Izta died of a broken heart. When Popo returned to find her dead, he knelt down to hold her lifeless body. The gods took pity on the two lovers and covered them with snow. The story describes the origin of the volcanoes Popocatépetl (“the Smoking Mountain”) and Iztaccíhuatl (“White Woman” in Nahuatl, sometimes called the “Mujer Dormida’’ or “Sleeping Woman” in Spanish). Volcanoes are the home of the gods and considered sacred in Mexico. In the title of the print references the original elements in nature. These popular Aztec lovers decorate calendars, murals, T-shirts, and automobiles.artist/creator Jiménez, Luissubject Borderlands Frontera Aztecs Legends Volcanoes Love in art Elements Nature in art Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Governor of the Tarahumaras
title Governor of the Tarahumarasdescription Etching on paper, 20 in. x 13 in. Portrait of Governor of the Tarahumaras in foreground, with flat landscape and wooden house in background. Artist Marta Arat (1932-2002) was born in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. She spent most of her adult life along the El Paso-Juárez border, where she studied art at The University of Texas at El Paso. Arat painted her social and spiritual self and created work that experimented with color while mirroring a time and place that reflects the region of the Chihuahuan borderlands. Arat’s work presents images taken from the beauty and diversity of people’s hopes, aspirations and dreams. Marta Arat painted a full spectrum of women, with the belief that women along the US-Mexico border are often overlooked though they are a historic example of life and change. She was a close friend of the El Paso collector Juan Sandoval. Arat was active in the Soñando Juntos organization, an immigrant youth-led organization that empowers borderland immigrant youth through civic engagement. Locally, her first exhibition Life in the Barranca Del Cobre in 1980 was followed by her first group exhibition La Mujer y Su Arte in 1984. Arat’s artwork has been published in magazines, books, and commercially. From Chihuahua, Mexico throughout Texas and to other parts of the region, she has exhibited in museums, galleries and university libraries. Her paintings can be found in many private, corporate, and public museum collections throughout Mexico and the United States.artist/creator Arat, Martasubject Indigenous peoples Indígenas Workers Governors Farmworkers Elders Ancianos Nature in art Leadership Borderlands Frontera Tarahumara Indians Intaglio Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

La Cruz: Spiritual Source. Ancient And Contemporary Expressions Exhibition
title La Cruz: Spiritual Source. Ancient And Contemporary Expressions Exhibitiondescription Cat.3 062(15) Photo of installation and other works from La Cruz exhibit, curated by Amalia Mesa-Bains and Enrique Chagoya, assisted by Sal García. The installation features four large branches painted blue that lean on and support one another. At their base is a circle that has been divided in four, hearkening the four cardinal points sacred in Native American cosmology. Each quadrant is a different color and is adorned with a matching devotional candle. The circle is surrounded by palm fronds. The central "tree" figure recalls the "World Tree" of Native American and world myth, a symbolic parallel to the Christian cross. A cross is also formed at the junction of the four cardinal points. Other works featured interpret the cross in other ways. The artist of any work retains all rights to that work. Copyright has not been assigned to the Regents of the University of California.
