About this artwork
I love looking at the deeper feelings within the human psyche and how the body reacts to particular energy. Patience is an attribute considered by some a virtue and a form of emotional intelligence, but what happens when we force ourselves to be something that the body doesn’t harmonize with. I created this painting to serve as a dialogue of stress and restriction when forced to hold on tight. When I think of the word Patience, it brings up contradictions…
between release and restriction. We try to be patient, but when we desire something so badly the body builds a force that can cause disruption. I used a deep cadmium red to engage blood and green blue for bruises. A close up shot of the body creates a more honest and intimate view of the person.

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.
