Suzanne Moxhay, Green Arch, 2023
Archival Pigment Print, edition of 5, 118 x 93cm (unframed)
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. ‘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.’
Photographs of an abandoned villa on Rhodes, Greece, were the starting point for this light-drenched scene. ‘Green Arch’ s being exhibited for the first time by Oliver Projects at the 2023 Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair. In this case, it is not the colour of the archway itself that lends the work its title, but rather the foliage that encroaches upon the decrepit walls around it. This work is printed with a white border (please see installation image).
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 and 2022. She lives and works in south east London.
