TIme Square Crossing
1998, Oil/Collage-Mixed
Media on canvas, 44x36 inches, by Suzanne Hodes. We each see the world
through the bias or lens of our own individual experience. Suzanne tries
to capture this flux of shifting aspects and perceptions through her
paintings. Technically, she is interested in the combination of opposites:
fluid form with accurate drawing, energetic surface with atmospheric
wash. Often Suzanne uses optical reflections in which changes of form
and color suggest the ambiguity of our perception. For many years Suzanne
attempted to portray her experience of city life. She was drawn to collage
and collage-like images that combine disparate and unexpected elements,
in hopes that these impressions may reveal multiple perceptions and
interpretations; also to suggest associations of time and memory, and
the relationship and interaction of images, both past and present, in
an attempt to mirror the workings of the mind. Courtesy of The Joan
