Sofie Ramos '13 Artist Talk

Sofie Ramos is a full-time artist based in LA and is best known for large-scale sculptural installations of vibrantly painted household forms and textures that flatten hierarchies and boundaries between art and everyday objects and playfully confront material excess. Ramos’s work has been included in many exhibitions mostly in California, but also across the country and abroad. Major past solo exhibitions include Bread & Salt in San Diego, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in Boulder, CO, Fort Mason and Guerrero Gallery in San Francisco, Johansson Projects in Oakland, Berkeley Civic Arts and the San Jose ICA. She has several permanent installations at Facebook HQ in Menlo Park, CA and recently completed her first permanent outdoor public sculpture in Christie Park in Emeryville, CA. She is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and holds a BA in Visual Art from Brown University and an MFA in Art Practice from UC Berkeley.
