Karl Whitaker Collection: Printmakers Without Horses • "Grody Scout"
Southwest artists don't get the attention they deserve. So we started buying local prints to show in pop-up galleries throughout the region. While most contemporary artists look toward New York and San Francisco for inspiration, artists here feel a strong pull south, from the gravity of Mexican art. The viewers can decide for themselves if there is any unity of vision amongst Southwestern artists or if we are being torn apart in three directions.
Jimmy Peña • “No Safe Place to Die”
Jimmy Peña was born in 1959 and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. Drawing came naturally to him as a child, and he always practiced it. He taught himself to paint at the age of 14.
