About this artwork
My intention with this painting was to create a dialogue surrounding social media and how it has the potential to distort our sense of self. I use my body in this artwork and create an image that has a feeling of discomfort and unease within the human experience. The photo is taken while looking down on my legs, distorting how my figure actually looks in real life. The image is less detailed and refined on my feet, illustrating someone who isn’t…
grounded in reality. The use of oil paint gives freedom to developing layers of colour that have the ability to create a texture of flesh and bruising, conveying a wound, a disconnect with who we are. The expressionist style placed below the main figure was meant to convey a slow dissolving and distortion of self when our online personality becomes something other. We then begin to question who is real.

Suzanne Bean, a seasoned visual artist, embraces expressive mediums such as pencil, charcoal, and oil paint. My artwork allows the viewer to see a visible representation of transformation within the human psychological experience. My main subject is the human figure in both full or fragmented images, engaging the viewer and enhancing an emotional response. In my latest work, I used my own body as the subject matter, developing a more personal response to identity, individuality, denial and illusion. The ideas of isolation, distortion, dissolving create a feeling of unease, while developing a deeper conversation with Self. My Art becomes a vehicle for questioning the nature of personal reflection and evolution and how our experience is shared and felt on a collective level.
