This fall I installed a solo exhibition, Mucho: Sofia Enriquez, with Shepard Fairey’s gallery, Subliminal Projects, in Echo Park, Los Angeles. The exhibition showcased fine art, sculpture, bespoke hand-made installations, and clothing. In partnership with Obey Clothing and in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition, we released a limited-edition t-shirt and a series of select, hand-painted items from the Obey Clothing line, displayed in a pop-up shop, dubbed “MUCHO X OBEY,” within the exhibition.
The work investigates my intercultural identity through the use of vibrant, distinct symbolism, creating an auto-biographical legend that weaves themes of Mexican-Catholic iconography, indigenous homage, Spanglish text, modern pop-culture references, and feminine strength.
Subliminal Projects presented MUCHO by Sofia Enriquez this fall. The exhibition showcased the breadth of Enriquez’s practice, including fine art, sculpture, bespoke hand-made installations, and clothing.
