About this artwork
This painting was created to begin a conversation surrounding our obsession with the Selfie. I used earth tones to build a narrative of burden and unease. The hand covering the face is symbolic of how absurd it is to keep continually taking photos of ourselves and how the perfect picture fuels an unrealistic view of self. The image was meant to look grotesque and lifeless, while without a body, leads to not seeing life clearly. The bust represents…
the past, and how people were idolized through a sculpture. I left the brush strokes loose and less connected. There is a destructive nature to this piece, but with a bit of comic relief.

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.
