Casting



Luis Jimenez is the artist of this piece, called Black Jack. The medium this artist uses is casting. Casting is a process in which you pour molten material into a mold of the sculptures impression.  It is usually a bronze. Jimenez is known for southwestern and Hispanic themed fiberglass sculptures. This could be due to the fact the artist was born in El Paso Texas and died in New Mexico.  Both cultures were the content of many works.
