<p>Known primarily for his brash polychromed fiberglass sculptures, Jimenez is a prodigious draftsman. The artist has made some of his most powerful prints at Landfall Press, as the workshop is well disposed to employ some of Jimenez's more idiosyncratic methods, such as the flocked glitter surface seen on <em>Honky Tonk</em>.</p>

Printmaking

Luis Jimenez was an American sculptor and painter who created large-scale public works and studio pieces exploring Chicano identity, labor, and the American Southwest. Working primarily in fiberglass, bronze, and paint, his figural compositions often depicted working-class subjects and scenes of migration with formal intensity and directness. His monumental public sculptures brought Chicano experience into civic space during the postwar period.
