Lucia Hierro

Elizabeth Dee is pleased to present Lucia Hierro’s new work in Mercado. In this presentation, the artists introduces a new archetype for her first solo gallery exhibition in New York. A series of soft assemblage sculptural objects on the walls and floor fill the front gallery, utilizing a broad platform of techniques that include digital media, painting, installation art, sculpture and color theory---as tools to tackle ideas of cultural and economic exclusion and privilege.
