STEPHANIE TEMMA HIER

Biography / Selected Works / Exhibitions / Related News

Stephanie Temma Hier was born in 1992 in Toronto, Canada and ​received her BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2014. She now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Her painting reflects the experience of traversing digital space in the 21st Century, mimicking the adage “falling down the rabbit hole” to describe the contemporary imagery consumption and visual culture, in which meanings fluctuate as images are brought together temporarily by seemingly indifferent big data algorithm to hierarchies of high and low culture values. Recent solo exhibitions include: Palate Cleanser at Nino Mier Gallery, Los Angeles, 2021; Soft Options, Hard Edges at Galerie Bradley Ertaskiran, Montreal, 2021; Swallowing the Pit at Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2020; Spring Now Comes Unheralded at Franz Kaka, Toronto, 2020; and Gridded and Girdled at Y2K group, New York, 2019. Hier was the recipient of multiple grants from Canada Council for the Arts, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, and participated in residency programs at Salon Nino Mier Cologne; Storm King Art Center, New York; and Hospitalfield, Arbroath.
