BIO
Sofia Plater is a mixed-media artist from Boston,
Massachusetts, USA. She received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine
Arts at Tufts University in 2018 and her BFA in Fine Arts from Boston College.
While in graduate school, Sofia received the Montague Travel grant, allowing
her to travel and research in Scotland in early 2018. Since then, she has
participated in numerous solo and group shows throughout Massachusetts,
Connecticut, and Vermont. In 2018, Sofia won the Real Art Award, allowing her
to complete a 40’x13’ foot wall installation at Real Art Ways in Hartford, CT.
Coming up next for Sofia is a group show called Lost & Found, at Beacon
Gallery in Boston’s SoWa Art District.
Statement:
Sofia Plater works with construction materials to create unexpected explorations of aesthetic possibilities. Her work evokes the conflict between natural and man-made architectures; she creates sculptures that are simultaneously organic and synthetic. Sofia primarily uses found materials that are the by-products of corporate manufacturing as a means to creating art. She aims to collect and re-use these and similar items that are destined for a landfill. Her primary inspiration comes from witnessing the architecture of raw nature and the free-forming textures and structures that exist and grow in the environment.
