Chinatown New York City June 2024 Announcing: Suzy Spence at The Frame, a popup curated by collector Oleg Guerrand Hermes
“Suzy conveys a wealth of emotion in her equestrian-themed paintings. Touching on 18th-century society portraiture, political imagery, equestrian sporting paintings, and contemporary fashion photography, there is an air of female defiance and haughty sensitivity that feels alive and ghostly all at once. A sea of fresh female faces stare directly into the eyes of the viewer, intimating intense individuality and a sense of another time and place, while also of the immediate now. Inky streaks of deep black build intimate portraits of unknown women: powerful, raw, and dressed to the nines, with the playful symbology of whips and tall boots. These females are armed with sultry stares of near military strength.”
