Produced on the occasion of the artist’s survey exhibitions at MAAT, Lisbon, and Palais de Tokyo, Paris, in 2024–2025.
Vivian Suter’s gestural works are the result of a daily, physical and emotional relationship with the materials and the contingencies of nature in the subtropical ecosystem where she lives and works. Rain, earth, humidity, light, flora, and fauna often inhabit her unstretched canvases, expressing her close interaction with external factors and her break with the traditional notion of controlling authorship, to create a versatile and monumental body of work, visually incomparable—an ode to the possibilities of painting.
