About the Item

Sidney Jimenez Bust with Floral Top (INV# NP5235) stoneware, underglaze, and glaze 10.75 × 9 × 5.5” 2024 signed Sydnie Jimenez is a ceramic artist whose work centers on the figures of brown youth, exploring themes of individuality, self-expression, and identity within communities marginalized by dominant, Eurocentric ideals. Through her work, Sydnie confronts the impact of a white-supremacist culture on how brown and Black people navigate the world, especially in relation to how they are viewed by others and how they see themselves. Her figures speak to the struggles, resilience, and resistance faced by individuals on the fringes of society, specifically focusing on the lived experiences of brown femmes and the complex layers of internal reflection and external projection that define their sense of self. Sydnie’s work is deeply rooted in the exploration of toxic post-colonial ideologies, and the tough, often rebellious personas that emerge as a defense mechanism against a world that marginalizes, stereotypes, and oppresses brown and Black bodies. In her figurative ceramic sculptures, Sydnie portrays these individuals with a sense of power, defiance, and vulnerability, drawing attention to the masking of vulnerability beneath the tough exterior. Her pieces evoke questions around style, identity politics, and the negotiation of selfhood within a larger cultural context that is shaped by colonial history and the ongoing effects of white supremacy. Born in Orlando, FL, and raised in North Georgia, Sydnie’s background and experiences have deeply influenced her artistic practice. She recently graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) with a BFA in Ceramic Sculpture. Her work has been recognized with notable accolades such as the Windgate Fellowship and the SPARK Grant, which support her continued exploration of Black and brown youth culture, self-expression, and the healing power of art as resistance. Sydnie’s artistic practice is not only about representation but also about creating a space for empowerment and healing through the act of making. Through her art, she challenges traditional narratives of beauty and strength, offering a vision of self-care and empowerment that comes from within community. With each figure, Sydnie pushes boundaries, reshaping narratives around identity and belonging, and reminding us that the personal is always political. This bio gives a more nuanced and specific representation of Sydnie’s work, tying in her themes of cultural identity, self-expression, and resistance. It also reflects her personal background and the influences that shape her artistic journey. Let me know if you’d like any further adjustments!
