ANDERSON CONTEMPORARY
SUZANNE UNREIN
Characterized by the fervent energy of gestural mark-making and wide swaths of vibrant colors, these paintings are lyrical forms of a wilder existence. Joy and sensuality are expressed with a contemporary working of paint to create complex, emotional compositions by way of the subconscious rather than analytical mind.
Unrein is a 2023 grant recipient of the FST StudioProjects Fund, New York, NY and a 2023-2024 recipient of the studio program residency at Painting Space 122, New York, NY.
