Not Just A Horse – The Art and Life of Luis Jimenez

Luis Jimenez grew up in El Paso, Texas and his art reflects the west with a Latino perspective. He referred to himself as a Chicano Pop Artist and said he was not a western artist, although his work certainly reflected his experiences in a border town. His use of fiberglass and neon for his sculptures was a deliberate decision to bring art to the average person. He said “I have an agenda. – art that reaches out to Chicanos and a working-class audience, that helps them celebrate their culture and history.”
