Lisandra Ramirez Cuban, b. 1986
Ramírez works with sculpture, photography, video projection installations, and other mediums. Through her Pop Art-like works she critiques social and historical issues.
She is known for taking aesthetic inspiration from mass-produced Japanese cartoons and Soviet-era toys to comment on the nature of mass manufacturing and how it causes isolation and loneliness in a society. Ramirez's imagery allows her to investigate different narrative forms. The aesthetic of her work achieves an outwardly naive quality that maintains differing questions about the role of the individual as a social being and the undertone of various historical processes.
