SUSANNAH MARTIN:
PAINTING THE VIRTUAL MIND

“Painting the Virtual Mind” is the second exhibition at The MISSION and is dedicated to the American artist Susannah Martin. She presents her impressive hyper-realistic works, which feature characters wandering through lush, wild landscapes wide-eyed and bewildered at their surroundings.

She sees painting nude figures as a continuation of a long lineage of artists who have used the human body to signify what she refers to as man in his purest state.

This unadulterated state of harmony with nature stands in contrast to the artificial environments that house our urban existence. Martin’s characters often look awkward and at odds with the untamed forests they find themselves in, signaling at our collective disconnect with living off the land.

Her paintings offer us voyeuristic glimpses into these characters’ lives as they strip away their facades and confront nature in its beauty and horror.

We will be presenting new works of Susannah, partly in fascinating sizes, but always in her realistic, mesmerizing style in our new playground The MISSION. We will also introduce her new large format illustrated book "Painting the Virtual Mind".

The artist will be in attendance on Friday evening. This exhibition promises to be a visual experience in a class of its own.
