Paloma Izquierdo
Paloma Izquierdo was born in Havana and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cooper Union. She is an interdisciplinary artist based in Miami and New York whose sculptural and performative works are influenced by transculturation and its effects on cultural collectivity. Through repetition, her sculptures recreate dance, movement and rhythm by making social actions mechanical, thus preserving cultural habits and performances from assimilation. Izquierdo has exhibited at the Smithsonian’s S. Dillon Ripley Center (Washington, D.C.), Plant Seven (High Point, N.C.), 41 Cooper Gallery (New York City), and Miami’s Spinello Projects, Swampspace, and The Jewel Box and YoungArts Gallery at National YoungArts Foundation.
