Adrian Esparza (1970) was born and raised in El Paso and returned here to live soon after earning his graduate degree from the California Institute for the Arts. He garners much of his source material and artistic inspiration from his borderland experience, and the artist's daily encounter with this political divide seems to nourish his perpetual challenge of generally accepted boundaries and hierarchies.
