Diana Lozano (b. 1992, Cali, Colombia) received her BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 2013 and will receive her MFA from Yale School of Art in 2021. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She has shown at La Mama Galleria, Deli Gallery, Fisher Parrish Gallery and Company Gallery in New York, Casa Prado in Colombia, Guerrero Gallery in San Francisco, Swampspace in Miami, and Open Space in Baltimore. Lozano’s work is an amalgamation of botanical imitation, scandent vines and tufts of leaves as it embodies ornamental accessories and jewelry. Inheriting her family’s agricultural and botanical background, these biomorphic sculptures draw from a personal memory as a Colombian immigrant, combining embellishments of nameplates and charm bracelets with horticultural forms. These embellished chimeras offer visual narratives into performative gender—postured accessorizing as both identity articulation and natural occurrences in landscape and flora.
