Michael Lucero (b. 1953) is a sculptor who works in clay. He incorporates stylistic references from various cultures into his work (pre-Columbian, Native American, European and African), creating complex, hybrid forms that comment on the changing nature of society and environment in which we live.
He received his B.A. from Humboldt State University and M.F.A. from the University of Washington. His work can be found in the Museum of Arts and Design, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Seattle Art Museum, Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, among others.
