Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to announce Becky Suss’ first solo exhibition at the gallery. Her latest body of work addresses the process of remembering and the particular psychology of space. Through paintings of meticulously set interiors, often staged with objects of personal significance, the domestic emerges as a site for reflection. August (2016) depicts a hallway peering into a home office and living room. Two chairs are placed across from each other, and while devoid of sitters, they imply both the absence and presence of inhabitants; the furniture’s rounded, bulky forms take on bodily dimensions, their confrontational configuration as if in deep conversation.
