About the Item

Suzie Buchholz is a Bay Area-based abstract painter with a playful yet rebellious approach to the tradition of Abstract Expressionism. Her process is highly physical,driven by an instinct for harmony of color and form. Inspired by the tangled and fragile moments of daily life, her work combines a gritty, street-wise sensibility with an uncanny,painterly tenderness. Buchholz holds a B.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute and Certificate from the Aterlier du Soliel, Aix en Provence, France. She is the recipient of several residencies,including Djerassi Artists Program, the Bay Area Discovery Museum, and Sant’Anna in Camprena, Pienza, Italy. Her work has been exhibited throughout the US and Europe,including Galerie Ruban Vert in Aix-en-Provence, France, Colorida Gallery in Lisbon,Portugal, Galerie Mani in Berlin, Germany and Galleria di Biblioteca in Pienza, Italy. A multimedia installation “Pills for Parents” was exhibited at Catharine Clark Gallery, San Francisco, and was part of the Zero1 Biennial. Her work is the collections of Presidio of San Francisco, Bay Area Discovery Museum, Djerassi and numerous corporate and private collections. “I try to let my work be a spontaneous documentary of life at this moment of time.”Suzie art practice is very physical, applying layers, scraping, scratching, adding, removing, working on ladders or hands and knees. “I like to get intimate with my artworks. By the time they’re finished, I feel very attached to them, like old friends.” Hints and clues hide in the layers—glimpses that challenge the viewer to look deeper. Imperfections and off-kilter elements lend to the tender, genuine feeling of her work. “When the piece resonates with sincerity, I know it’s finished.”
