Vivian Suter

13 December to

15 March 2020

Vibrant colour and loose

brushwork feature heavily in

the oeuvre of Vivian Suter

[Nisyros (Vivian’s Bed), left].

Her exotic paintings are

inspired by the tropical

landscape of Panajachel in

Guatemala, where the artist

lives and works on a former

coffee plantation.

Following a tropical storm

in 2005, Suter embraced

nature further, leaving her

unstretched canvases

outdoors so that natural

substances such leaves

and twigs would become

embedded in the paint.
