Francisco Delgado I’m a Poor Deer, Soy un Pobre Venadito . . ., 2011 Acrylic and color pencil on paper, 8.5" x 11" Mexic-Arte Museum Collection 2020.2.4.1 Gift of Juan Antonio Sandoval Jr. Wounded deer with male head and cacti on a treadmill. A banner reading "Soy un pobre vendadito que...la serancia como no [...] bajo noche[...] tus brazos..." Francisco Delgado was born on November 3, 1974 in Ciudad Juárez, and grew up in El Paso’s Segundo Barrio. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the Yale School of Art. His Bordeño artworks are informed by the social and cultural struggles inherent to life on the Mexican and United States border. His artwork addresses issues of identity, race, cultural traditions, and government policies that affect migration and immigrants. In his own words, Delgado says "I am a visual artist with an artistic focus on social issues". He visually represents the history of his community and creates a dialogue for social change. Often using dark humor or satire to depict his narratives, his artwork highlights the struggles of underrepresented people along the border. A prolific artist, Delgado works in painting, drawing, printmaking, and has also produced community murals. His works have been published in books, exhibited in national and international art exhibitions and community institutions. Francisco currently resides, teaches and creates artwork in El Paso. |
