Becky Suss: Interiors

Above: Various paintings by the artist Becky Suss
Becky Suss (b. Philadelphia, PA in 1980; lives and works in Philadelphia, PA) explores ideas of intimacy, domesticity and memory. Her large-scale paintings of interiors are holistic representations of the sensory and remembered qualities of space, while her small paintings of objects and books become a library of charged personal items. Devoid of figures, Suss’ style uses flattened architecture, exaggerated proportions, and distorted perspective to amplify the tension between fact and fiction, mirror the plasticity of memory, and challenge the importance of truth-value in effective storytelling.
