Suzanne Moxhay
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 derelict 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. ‘There’s always been a bit of a play in my work between what’s inside and outside, both in literal and psychological terms. In films the sets and scenes are often used in a way to try and describe the psychology of the character or something to do with the story; that’s always interested me.’
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 – whether architecturally grand, or domestic in scale.
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 has exhibited her work at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair for the past four years and she has shown annually in the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, London. Most recently, Suzanne’s work has been shown at Art Mumbai in India with Anupa Mehta Contemporary Art and in Aix-en-Provence, France, with Jean Louse Ramand Gallery. Oliver Projects was proud to show new work by Suzanne at the 2025 London Art Fair, and in a solo exhibition in October 2025. Suzanne lives and works in south east London.

This unframed limited edition print is part of our solo exhibition of Suzanne’s work, ‘Thresholds’. Bodies of water - in particular the flooding of interior spaces - have played a key role in Suzanne’s recent imagery. In this new work, rain begins to fill an imaginary room, its ripples reflecting the light streaming in. A dark cluster of fir trees, appearing as a painted mural on the wall, are also mirrored upon its surface.
A white border of approx. 5-7cm is included in the stated paper size and all prints are signed on this border - please see example image below.

This new, unframed limited edition print by Suzanne is included in our 2024 Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair collection. Drawing upon the artist’s interest in the theatrical, the ‘backdrop’ of the work’s title is represented by a miniature forested stage-set placed on top of a aged table. Like many of Suzanne’s images, it brings an apparently natural world into an imagined interior space, playing with ideas of scale and perspective.

This unframed limited edition print by Suzanne is included in our 2025 solo exhibition of work by the artist at Oliver Projects Gallery titled ‘Thresholds’. Suzanne’s well-known interior compositions often feature doorways or corridors, which draw the viewer’s eye into the image. Photographs that the artist has taken of locations that she has discovered ‘often by wandering unfamiliar places’ - usually form the starting point for her fictional scenes. In this case, the original photograph was taken in Budapest, but the end result has been significantly moved away from reality.
