About

Georgia Suter was born in Manhattan, New York. She received a bachelors degree in Journalism from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study before going on to study Painting and Drawing at The Art Students League of New York. Her work explores human relationships — lovers, strangers, friendships, siblings, families, communities (urban and rural) and social congregations of different kinds.

Her figures are frequently depicted as small, non-descript silhouettes. By removing personal characteristics, the social dynamic between figures becomes abstract and sometimes metaphorical. Within this exploration of human relationships, she uses narrative and symbolism to explore the interplay between feelings of isolation and connection, independence and interdependence, intimacy and anonymity and spatial versus interest-based community.

Whether through love, sense of place, shared values or set of beliefs, she’s interested in the “glue” that pulls people out of individualism and into the whole.
