Bios:
Corazon del Sol grew up with art as part of her daily life and witnessed first-hand the effect of her mother and grandmother’s initial acceptance into and following exclusion from the art history cannon of Los Angeles. Equipped with a native education in the arts, her work is based in the conscious and unconscious psyche, and creates a new constellation to show that which cannot be discussed. Her grandmother and mother live on in her; she takes their strengths and carries them and their history forward.
Lisa Jugert is a Los Angeles based artist who spent most of her life in Germany. Her interdisciplinary art practice is concerned with the psychology of visual perception and conventions of representation. She explores historical and contemporary relationships to images and the way they are being used to generate meaning. Jugert holds an MFA from the Städelschule Frankfurt am Main and studied at the Glasgow School of Art and Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.
