Jimenez’s work is beautifully gestural, giving a fluidity and lightness to the complex layers of media that are often saturated in dark pigment.
The poetic title of Cruz Jimenez’s new exhibition, End of the Night, encapsulates the emotive and personal nature of his work. While many of Jimenez’s paintings have contained the narrative of finding light in the dark and the shrouding darkness of nighttime, this exhibition suggests a new light, perhaps a new dawn for the artist.
Jimenez’s work is beautifully gestural, giving a fluidity and lightness to the complex layers of media that are often saturated in dark pigment. This parallel of light and dark is evident in this new collection of works where Jimenez incorporates his signature exploration of nightfall alongside works that embrace lightness in both palette and composition.
