Edgar Andres Jimenez, Colombia, b. 1980
Classic comics and classic American Cinema influenced his work. His roots as a painter go back to abstract painters and Expressionists such as Cézanne and Edward Munch, Neoexpressionist Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Pop Artist David Hockney. He delved into the realistic painting style with his BLAXPLOITATION series posters. In his oeuvre he explores the African-American history in the society of the late XX century. Conversely, he has explored issues such as violence, inequality, profiling, and discrimination against African Americans in his series RIOTS (2016), and Power and Equality (2022). His work also includes architectural drawing over unusual supports as boxes as a metaphor to appoint a colonial heritage in Latin American countries.
