“Viaja lo suficientemente lejos, te encuentras a ti mismo.
Travel far enough, you meet yourself." Jorge Luis Borges
The Spanish title of Cruz Jimenez’s latest exhibition is Viaje – which, translated into English, means 'journey'. The artist's Mexican heritage is embraced in this new body of work, a series that describes Jimenez’s own development; his journey.
Cruz’s practice is immersive and intuitive; his large works celebrate the power of the mark. The pieces are snapshots, memories from Cruz’s own journey as an artist and a man. The exhibition is a raw and honest expression of his experiences, displaying a progression; a grown confidence and self-assuredness that shines through within each work.
