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 — partnerships, friendships, siblings, families, communities (urban and rural) and social congregations of different kinds. The figures in her paintings are frequently depicted as small, nondescript silhouettes, inviting the viewer to zoom out on our quotidian lives and observe human congregations through an anthropological lens. Whether through love, sense of place, a shared value system or set of beliefs, she’s interested in the role of social interdependence and the “glue” that pulls people out of individualism and into the whole; sometimes forming community as a physical locality, sometimes as a sentiment. Within this exploration of human relationships, her work evokes questions around isolation and connection, intimacy and anonymity, inclusion and exclusion, sense of belonging and spatial versus interest-based community.
