*****
Juan Hinojosa is a mixed-media artist who currently lives and works in New York. Constructed from found objects, his complex collage-drawings intimately challenge greed, obsessive consumption, and the social stratification of American culture. Hinojosa, a child of immigrants, received his BFA from Parsons School of Design and was awarded residencies at Material for the Arts (New York), the Vermont Studio Center (Vermont), and Aljira Center for Contemporary Art (New Jersey). Most recently, he completed residencies at MASS MOCA (Mass) and Dieu Donné (NY). Hinojosa is a two-time winner of the Queens Council on the Art’s “New Works Grant”, the City Corps Grant, and the Artist Relief Grant. His work has been featured in The New York Times, the Woodside Herald, and Open House New York. Hinojosa’s solo exhibitions include “Blonde Ambition” at Materials for the Arts (New York), “ALL MINE” at Union College (New York), and “Paradise City” at Brattleboro Museum and Art Center (VT).
