Biography
The Argentine-Swiss artist Vivian Suter provides an environmental perspective on painting, mounting her large, unstretched canvases outdoors to be marked and stained by falling leaves, rain, and mud. For her first-ever exhibit in her native Argentina, Suter has created a suite of new paintings that hang unframed from the open-air porch of the former Cervecería Munich. They were made in Guatemala, where the artist works in the scenic lakeside village of Panajachel. Suter actively invites the elements into her practice, working amid the wilderness that surrounds her home and studio and letting her paintings absorb traces from fallen fruit, passing animals, and weather conditions. When finished, she prefers to install the works by suspending them in space, moving between painting and sculpture. Hung from the roof of the old beer hall’s terrace, Suter’s streaked canvases form a permeable membrane between nature and civilization.
