Photopolymer gravure, 48 x 39cm, edition of 10
Suzanne Moxhay’s complex images use archival or newly-taken photographs as their starting point. Combining a variety of low and high-tech techniques, her digital photomontages and etchings explore interior and exterior spaces that, in the artist’s words, ‘feel as though they have broken down and perhaps been re-claimed’.
Suzanne’s practice is informed by the theatre of film-making, and strong light sources play a key role in creating drama. New life is breathed into deserted scenes by encroaching foliage or startled birds; often an uneasy sense of stillness prevails. Despite her focus upon digital techniques, Suzanne’s images retain a painterly quality achieved through layering and manipulation of textures. The resulting works fuse the real with the imagined, drawing the viewer into spaces that feel intimate and often a little unsettling. The photopolymer gravure technique used to produce this framed print replaces the traditional acid-based method of etching, resulting in rich, monochrome works with depth and atmosphere.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
