Suzy Lake

​March 12th - May 5th, 2020

​Suzy Lake is a New Orleans outsider artist keen on bold colors and big canvases. Much like the playfully irreverent NOLA culture, her work combines off-kilter subject matter with bright color palettes to produce a sense of delightful whimsy. It’s all about crafting a mood and putting to canvas only those impulses that feel organic and right.

A firm believer in the idea of art for art’s sake, Lake invites viewers to extract their own meaning from her work. Some artists paint to express political views or engage in social commentary. Lake creates art purely as an exercise in aestheticism. Art should be visually exciting. It should possess a provocative, reverberate energy and continually remind its owner why s/he purchased it.

Put simply, the beauty of a piece justifies its existence.
