Madame Fantasy

Susie Green

June 8th - July 21st 2024

Madame Fantasy presents a carousel installation of new, large-scale paintings on canvas by Susie Green, showing powerful, adorned figures taking up space unapologetically. Maximal compositions depict liquid, shifting figures inside bubble-like rooms. Works are both a form of self portrait and a broader reflection on dominance, submission and female presenting confidence.

Fantasy, fetish and disguise return as a regular preoccupation, with shapeshifting bodies ensconced in preparation for scenarios of escape, abandon, and release.
