Biography / Selected Works / Exhibitions / Related News

Stephanie Temma Hier, born in 1992 in Toronto, now lives and works in Brooklyn. She received her BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2014. 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. Constantly straddling the fine line between alluring and grotesque, Hier’s photorealistic paintings and their sculptural pairings examine the personal mementos and sentimentality imbued into familiar daily objects, speaking to our obsession with material culture, and how objects shape and represent us as a form for humanity. Recent solo exhibitions include: CORRIDORS, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2024; Roadside Picnic, Bradley Ertaskiran, Montreal, 2023; This must be the place, Nino Mier, Brussels, 2023; Palate Cleanser, Nino Mier, Los Angeles, 2021; Soft Options, Hard Edges, Bradley Ertaskiran, Montreal, 2021; Swallowing the Pit, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2020. Her works have been featured in group exhibitions at: Kotaro Nukaga, Tokyo; Deji Art Museum, Nanjing; Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles; Nino Mier, New York; Bradley Ertaskiran, Montreal; Kasmin Gallery, New York; Galerie Hussenot, Paris; Jack Hanley Gallery, New York. 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.
