About this artwork
This painting explores the concept of being "jailed" on social media. The raised hands suggest someone being arrested, yet the limbs are detached from the body and the face lacks identity — a symbol of lost individuality and silenced expression. The figure has no voice; their freedom of speech has been stripped away. Despite the heavy theme, there's a sense of irony and humour in how this "social media jail" is portrayed. Bright, colourful geometric…
shapes animate the space, pushing and pulling around the figure without causing harm. Instead, they highlight the absurdity of the arbitrary rules that govern life in the digital realm.

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.
