Clotilde Jiménez

Artist Clotilde Jiménez is widely known for his vivid, mixed-media collages which draw on a range of artistic references to explore how race, gender, and sexuality limit the body—especially Black and queer ones. An MFA graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, Jiménez engages primarily with collage in an effort to convey multiple narratives simultaneously, and to express his own experiences through an array of materials ranging from ​​wallpaper to magazine clippings. I Had a Dream I Took an L (2020) features boxing, one of the many recurrent motifs in Jiménez’s work. The piece shows a collaged figure collapsed on the floor as if they were just knocked down in a boxing ring. Though symbolic of Jiménez’s own experience, the work is universally relatable. Jiménez’s intricate works are featured in prominent collections including the Ford Foundation, the Hessel Museum of Art, and the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection.
