about
Sophie Lane [they/them] is a queer mixed-media artist based + from the Chicago area.
Their studio practice involves large-scale, organic: mixed-media oil paintings, collage, and photography.
Typically abstract, their work explores: nascency, texture + grit, preservation, queerness + identity, kinship + genealogy, and the experience + existence of the places we call “home”.
With an affinity for being on the move, they have traveled, lived + shown across the States and Canada, and have been an Artist-in-Residence around Appalachia where they’ve taught workshops on oil painting, conceptual collage, and mixed media composition.
As a former creative contractor, they have worked for and collaborated with: fellow artists + activists, restaurants + venues, community spaces + galleries, local small businesses + vintage purveyors—and are always open to intentional opportunities to collaborate — contact via email encouraged.
They’re currently working at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and developing a new body of work in conjunction with a personal narrative centered around the linear forms of queerness + tantric sensory-driven travel.
This collection being completed during this summer of 2024 + new works on paper of collages being available this upcoming May.
