Suzanne Déry
Suzanne Déry's works incorporate paintings, drawings, collages, and projections that weave connections between the everyday, popular culture and the memory of place. Through the expedient of small formats, often of a refined and sober aesthetic, the artist conveys to us an intimate graphic space, where the iconography is at times realism, at times fantasy. Engaging a metaphorical mode, Déry's works arrest and reinterpret life's successes, driven by the idea of well-being and the desire to perceive the extraordinary in small things. She selects objects produced by popular culture and a consumer society, such as commercial packaging, small papers from fortune cookies, grocery store flyers, and thus plays with sense.
