[FAC] July 2 ArtHop Clay Mix presents artist Francisco Jiménez

[Maria Franco]

Ceramic Sculpture Exhibition by artist Francisco “Pancho” Jiménez at Clay
Mix July 2 through August 29

 

Clay Mix is proud to present a solo exhibition by ceramic artist, Francisco
“Pancho” Jiménez from July 2 through August 29. This exhibition includes
Jiménez’s most recent works, which are inspired by the pre-Columbian Olmec
heads. He expresses diverse psychological states by color and texture
without depicting features. The opening reception with the artist is at 5pm
on Thursday, July 2 during ArtHop.  Jiménez states that “I am intrigued by
the mystery of meaning that I find in ancient art, much of it in ruins,
found in Mexico or anywhere else in the world.  In my art I attempt to
capture that mystery, that “eternal presence” of ancient art forms, which
elicit particular emotions in me that may be universal and timeless.  My
intention is to create art forms that bring the eternal presence of the past
to the present, to inspire reflection on contemporary time and place.”
“Pancho” holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from San Francisco State
University. He has exhibited extensively in the Bay Area and nationally at
universities, private galleries, and public spaces. His work has been
featured in Ceramics Monthly and in three Lark Book publications. He
currently teaches at Santa Clara University.  The gallery is open Monday
through Friday from 8:30am to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 5pm; closed on
Sundays and holidays. Call 559.485.0065 or visit  <http://www.clay-mix.com/>
