Jun 27, 2025-Jan 4, 2026 Clotilde Jiménez Shapeshift Jun 27, 2025-Jan 4, 2026 Clotilde Jiménez, Pose No. 12 , 2020. Courtesy of the artist and Mariane Ibrahim (Chicago, Paris, Mexico City). Clotilde Jiménez’s art is driven by an exploration of materiality and transformation. His work highlights the societal limitations imposed on the body through race, gender, and sexuality, challenging and reshaping these constructs with subtlety and a playful sense of humor. Drawing from both ancient and contemporary sources, Jiménez incorporates everyday materials such as wallpaper, clothing, magazine clippings, and Mexican craft paper, connecting his diverse inspirations across time and culture. At the heart of Jiménez’s practice is a relentless state of evolution and transformation. Moving through mediums like ceramics, sculpture, collage, and painting, he layers materials to create works that speak to multiple narratives simultaneously. Each material introduced into his practice marks a shift—an expansion of understanding, a personal reckoning. The superimposition of textures and elements mirrors his own life, where every addition is not just a formal choice but a reflection of change within himself. As he navigates identity, history, and self-discovery, his materials evolve in parallel, embodying the fluidity of becoming. Working primarily with collage, Jiménez forges connections between disparate elements. He weaves together fragments, creating cohesive figures that embody interconnectedness and collective strength. Clotilde Jiménez: Shapeshift will be the most extensive presentation of Jiménez’s work to date, showcasing newly commissioned pieces alongside previously unseen drawings and process materials. Spanning his entire career, the exhibition will include early works from his time as a student at the Cleveland Institute of Art, providing a clear trajectory of his artistic evolution and the continuous transformation of his practice. Major support provided by the Kulas Foundation. Additional support provided by Gary Metzner & Scott Johnson. Select Images Clotilde Jiménez, Boxer (Aluminum) , 2020.

Born in 1990 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Clotilde Jiménez now lives and works in Mexico City. He earned his MFA from The Slade School of Fine Art and his BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art.
