中文简介:
艺术家贝基·苏斯(Becky Suss)1980年生于费城,目前在那里生活和工作。她的作品探讨了亲密关系、家庭性和记忆的想法。她的大型室内绘画是对空间感官和记忆品质的整体表现,而她在物品和书籍上的小型绘画则提供了一个引起强烈感情的个人物品图书馆。苏斯的作品中没有人物,使用扁平的建筑、夸张的比例和扭曲的视角来放大事实和虚构之间的张力,反映记忆的可塑性,不断地改造和修正。苏斯经常质疑美国社会对妇女生活与家务绑定的刻板印象;她喜欢研究美国文化中同时否定和依赖家务劳动和家庭主妇的做法,这也是因为受到了她的家庭影响——几代女性默默无闻地管理着家务而不受重视。
英文简介:
Philadelphia-based artist Becky Suss (born 1980) explores ideas of intimacy, domesticity and memory. Her large-scale paintings of interiors are holistic representations of the sensory and remembered qualities of space, while her small paintings of objects and books offer a library of charged personal items.Devoid of figures, Suss' style uses flattened architecture, exaggerated proportions and distorted perspective to amplify the tension between the factual and the fictitious, mirroring the plasticity of memory, continually reformed and revised. Suss often questions the stereotypes of domesticity as they relate to the lives of women in America; she is fascinated by American culture's simultaneous dismissal of and dependence on homemaking and homemakers, and is inspired by her own personal heritage―the generations of women in her family who managed the domestic sphere without recognition.
