Stephanie Temma Hier (1992, Canada) fuses ceramics and oil painting to create wall works that contrast material and subject matter. She often focuses on photorealistic still lives and surrounds each canvas with custom frames composed of intricate sculptures. 

Her curious combination of incongruous images stem from hours she’s spent browsing the internet, with her resulting works demonstrating strange tensions and moments of comedy. Hier is often drawn to motifs related to food and consumption, and her busy arrangements further evoke our ingestion of an overflow of visual culture in the digital age.
