Suzanne Moxhay, Palm (small), 2020
Archival Pigment Print, edition of 25, 43 x 52cm
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. ‘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.’
This unframed limited edition print is a smaller-scale version of the exhibited ‘Palm’ print shown in our June 2024 ‘Almost Blue’ group exhibition. This complex composition includes several of Suzanne’s favourite motifs including an interior landscape mural and signs of nature encroaching on a grand, derelict space - the star of which is a large palm tree. The contrast between the tropical foliage and abandoned mattresses heightens the scene’s unsettling quality; a single perched bird, silhouetted by the bright light pouring in, reinforces the sense of stillness.
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.
