Susie Green

Lives and works in Zürich, Switzerland

Artist statement

Susie Green (b.1979) is a Zurich-based British artist whose sensorial practice spans painting, performance, relief sculpture, and sound. Throughout her work, dress, fetish, and disguise recur as regular preoccupations, with bodies adorned in preparation for pleasure, decompression, and release. Enclosed scenes of eroticism and play act as a lens through which to explore power dynamics and nervous system regulation, with colour-saturated tableaus of escapism and excess positioned in contrast to lived experiences of tension and anxiety. Solo and two person exhibitions include those at UNION, London, UK (2024); Quench, Margate, UK (2024); JW Anderson X AWITA, London, UK (2022); FRAC Champagne-Ardenne (with Cathy Josefowitz), Reims, France (2021); Interior Report, Workplace, Gateshead, UK (2018); Five Years (with Kim Coleman), London, UK (2018); and Grand Union, Birmingham, UK (2017). Performances include: She Has a Problem Being the Good Girl, CRAC Occitanie, Sète, France (2025); Frou Frou Feelings (with Harriet Pittard), Doña, London, UK (2024); The Hold, Tate St Ives, Cornwall, UK (2019); Club Goddess, Kunstraum, London, UK (2020).
