Photopolymer gravure, 48 x 39cm, edition of 15
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 spaces by encroaching foliage or - in this case- gentle rainfall. Staircases and doorways, which represent entrances or portals into other worlds, are recurring motifs. The resulting works fuse the real with the imagined, drawing the viewer into interiors 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 a richly monochromatic image with a sense of nostalgia.
Suzanne studied at Chelsea College of Art and The Royal Academy Schools, graduating in 2007. She has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally since 2002 and her work is held in many significant public and private collections including the University of the Arts Collection, The Royal Academy of Arts, The Cooper Union New York, and Oxford University. She has featured in numerous publications including The Guardian, The FT, A-N Magazine and Art World Magazine and has been profiled and interviewed on the BBC Culture Show. Oliver Projects presented Suzanne’s work at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2021. She lives and works in south east London.
