El ARTISTA QUE PINTA PENDEJADAS

Artista plastico que plasma sus ideas basadas en un mundo erotico-primitivo-surrealista.

Su imageneria va mas alla de una interpretación sexual. Utilizar al erotismo como punto primordial de su obra le sirve para criticar aspectos tanto psicologicos, sociales, y culturales, como politicos y religiosos, todo basado en el comportamiendo humano. Por su parte, la vida natural y animal los plantea como aspectos que carecen de juicio, permitiendoles una libertad sin prejuicios.

En el dificil camino de la creación plastica, Eloy Jiménez, ha encontrado un estilo propio que ha creado controversia. Dicho de otra manera, la utilización grafíca de elementos con connotación sexual hace que su obra pueda ser vista por muchos como cruda, burda, grotesca e irreal. Estos elementos estrechan la relacion del humano con el mundo animal permitiendole asociar comportamientos parecidos que establecen aspectos sociales en comunidad. De esta manera el asociar a la vida animal con la vida humana, crea un vinculo sexual inconsiente que lleva a cuestionamientos sociales y religiosos por patrones morales que obstaculizan al individuo premeditadamente, no permitiendolé el libre albedrio de escojer su sexualidad.

ARTIST STATEMENT

ELOY JIMENEZ “El Mixteco”

“When an art historian was preparing a lecture for a symposium on art and sexuality, he asked his friend Picasso where he drew the line between these two concepts. The painter replied: They the same thing, because art can only be erotic.” (Widmaier 2005)

In my sensitivity art is only erotic.

In the Mixtec region of Oaxaca, where I am from, where my roots begin, the culture is flooded with ideologies related to sex.

I am deeply influenced by my culture and my country. The codex (ancient Pre Columbian pictographs) contain representations of sexuality, none of which are considered immoral, to them it is part of life. Their Gods, their history, were all represented in this aspect.

Sexuality is, part of self not exclusive to a group or a certain culture.

In addition to my culture, I am also influenced by many important artists. Schield, Klimt, Picasso, Kokoschka and Toledo all work with erotic imagery. My attention was based primarily how they conveyed eroticism and sexuality. Each artist represented their own erotic style based on the premise of love, passion, emotion, sensuality and sexuality. In some cases they walked a thin line between eroticism and pornography.

I perceive that eroticism goes beyond the normal standards of love, passion, sex, and emotions. I discern that art is intertwined with pornography, and eroticism, and that they are inherent to each other. If one threatens to separate these concepts it will only justify societies judgments on what is moral and what is immoral.

My art work is more than a simple thematic representation; it is a procedure, a contemplative introspective arrangement. I was able to produce textural aspects that are not typically found with other traditional painting techniques on paper. I utilize the ancient Mixtec use of grana Cochinilla (ground Coachanil bug) in a new way.

I focused on two notions: the concept of diverse human sexuality and the concept of animal sexuality. Both have the same objective: to preserve the species. Only the humans have the ability to understand and recognize the sexual act as a pleasure.

My style is individual and distinctive; I call myself as an erotic artist. I focus on primitive conceptions in a contemporary society. For some pornography or eroticism is an attack on moral values, however, the erotic exist, unbeknownst to most, in the everyday.
