●内容简介——

Becky Suss（1980年生于宾夕法尼亚州费城，在宾夕法尼亚州费城生活和工作）探索亲密关系、家庭性和记忆的想法。她的大型室内绘画是对空间的感官和记忆品质的整体表现，而她的物品和书籍的小型绘画则成为一个带电的个人物品图书馆。

在没有人物的情况下，苏斯的风格使用扁平化的建筑、夸张的比例和扭曲的视角来放大事实和虚构之间的张力，反映了记忆的可塑性，不断地改革和修正。引起共鸣的是，尽管住宅有严格的物理结构，但它可以适应，欢迎在其墙壁之间移动的人们的日常历史、怪癖和印象。

苏斯的作品经常质疑家庭的陈规陋习，特别是与美国妇女生活有关的陈规陋习。她对美国文化对家务劳动和家庭主妇的否定和依赖非常着迷，并受到她自己的个人遗产的启发，她的家庭中几代妇女管理家庭领域而不被承认。她渴望提升这些在历史上被认为不重要的女性私人空间，虽然在现实中是创造和定义家庭和身份的地方。她经常从对自己祖父母家的记忆中获得灵感，在自己成为父母后，她通过回到童年的文学作品和这些想象中的叙述的记忆中找到灵感。

Becky Suss (b. Philadelphia, PA in 1980; lives and works in Philadelphia, PA) explores ideas of intimacy, domesticity and memory. Her large-scale paintings of interiors are holistic representations of the sensory and remembered qualities of space, while her small paintings of objects and books become a library of charged personal items.

Devoid of figures, Suss’ style uses flattened architecture, exaggerated proportions, and distorted perspective to amplify the tension between the factual and the fictitious, mirroring the plasticity of memory, continually reformed and revised. What resonates is how a dwelling, despite its rigid physical structure, can adapt, welcoming the day to-day histories, eccentricities, and impressions of the people who move between its walls.

Suss’ work often questions the stereotypes of domesticity especially as they relate to the lives of women in America. She is fascinated by American culture’s dismissal and dependence on homemaking and homemakers, and inspired by her own personal heritage, the generations of women in her family who managed the domestic sphere without recognition. She aspires to elevate these historically female private spaces that have long been dismissed as unimportant, though in reality are places where family and identity are created and defined. She often draws inspiration from memories of her own grandparents’ home and, after becoming a parent herself, she has found inspiration through returning to the literature of her childhood and the memories of these imagined narratives.
