Zeke Peña Corrido, 2018 Serigraph on paper, 18" x 12" Mexic-Arte Museum Collection 2020.2.184.1 Gift of Juan Antonio Sandoval Jr. This print, Corrido, is a ballad to the city of El Paso, Texas. El Paso native and artist, Zeke Peña created this print inspired by a músico (musician) he encountered at a local restaurant one evening who was singing corridos. A corrido is a Mexican ballad or folk song about the struggles and victories people experience. In this augmented reality work, look for El Paso born artist Luis Jimenez’ lagartos (alligators), the star on the Franklin Mountains, the American and Mexican flags flown over the border bridge. Also, notice the lowrider car, tennis shoes hanging from power lines, and the barb wire fence seen along the U.S. – Mexico border. |
