Tal Cual: Pop Art Reinvented by Lucia Hierro @ Charlie James Gallery, Los Angeles

“I feel that there’s a lot of skirting around it, like it’s about the culture, but I’m always, like, no—it’s about economies,” Lucia Hierro told us in her feature this past Summer. “That’s really what it’s about: The way we live our lives in this sea of uncertainty and debt, where we continue to talk about our individual identities, when, in fact, these larger systems and structures are talked about theoretically—but never in terms of their direct impact on us, or the fact that so much of our culture is manufactured and branded.”
