José Eduardo Barajas José Eduardo Barajas Bleeding Boundaries

Mexico City, July 05, 2025 September 06, 2025

Barajas explores the relationship between the Mexican painting tradition and contemporary practices such as installation, video, sculpture, and site-specific work. He uses painting as a tool to re-signify the world beyond rational thought, transforming subjective experience into a collective vehicle for knowledge.

He holds a degree from the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda." His work has been exhibited both individually and collectively in Mexico and abroad. Recent exhibitions include: De los sueños te despiertas, Galerie Nordenhake, Mexico City 2024; Mnemosine, Proyectos Multipropósito, Mexico City, 2023; El fin de lo maravilloso, Museo Universitario del Chopo, Mexico City, 2023; Saliva, Peana, Mexico City, 2023; ¿Por dónde sale el sol?, Jardín 17, Relaciones Públicas, 2020; and Campamento para jóvenes naturalistas, Museo de la Ciudad de Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico, 2020. Publications dedicated to his work include: SKY, Vacaciones de trabajo -FONCA, 2018; and ¿Por dónde sale el sol?, Relaciones Públicas, 2020.
