Bayrol Jiménez

BAYROL JIMÉNEZ

The practice of Bayrol Jiménez (Oaxaca, Mexico, 1984) seeks to show experiences within drawing, painting or installation. This is conceived based on two ideas of memory. First as a space where the memories of images are not true to reality but work as a kind of collage of everything lived, small cuts that blend with each other. Second, the physical memory of the draftsman acquired through the practice of drawing through the eyes, the hand, the fingers, or the whole body, are only experience focused on processes that are transformed, under the philosophical concept of Emile Cioran, into simulations and waste. Bayrol studied at the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving, La Esmeralda, and at the Villa Arson National Superior School of Art in Nice, France. As part of his work, Bayrol Jiménez has made several international individual and collective exhibitions in which they stand out: Después de la fermentación sólo queda el pozo, Páramo, Guadalajara, Mexico, 2019; Sombras de los Valles, 14th edition, Hamburg, Germany, 2018; Frestas Triennial of Arts of Sao Paolo, Brazil, 2014; exhibition finalists Canson International Drawing Award, France, 2014; Sakàhan, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, 2013; Resisting the Present, National Museum of Modern Art in Paris, France and Amparo Museum in Puebla, Mexico, 2012. Within the continuous development of his practice, Jiménez has been an artist in residence in various spaces such as the Foundry Darling, Montreal, Canada, 2019; SeMA Nanji, Seoul Museum, South Korea, 2017; Bancomer Program Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, 2017; PAOS Guadalajara, Mexico, 2015; La Cite des Arts, Paris, France, 2012; and also FONCA Scholar Program 2015-2016 / 2013-2014; among others. Of the most recent (Foundry Darling, Montreal, Canada, 2019) is where the last proposal of his work comes from. Bayrol Jiménez’s work is part of several private international collections including the Asante Collection, Switzerland; Kadist Collection, San Francisco, USA; Luciano Benneton Collection, Italy; Diéresis Collection, Guadalajara, Mexico; MIN Art Museum / Black Coffee Gallery, Mexico and Freek Lomme Collection, The Netherlands.
