Morgan Suter (b.1998) is a painter and draftsperson composing high-chroma figurescapes entirely from imagination. These compositions comprise layers of humanoid forms (grotesque beasts, leggy bimbo butterflies with breasts, hyper-feminine bodies, floating heads with tendrils, rainbow worms, personified fish) playing in a realm of ambiguous space and pictorial excess. These paintings evoke sensations of joy, disgust, shame, euphoria, and sensuality. Lushness is formed through an intuitive process of pushing and pulling figure-ground from a central gray into dynamic color rhythms. Chubby, waxing, and waning shapes groove in a psychosensual disco; these figures are free and tethered. Always seeking, these compositions find catharsis in vulnerability. These paintings wade through the complexities of human feeling, embody plasticity, and spiritualize hedonism.

Morgan Suter (b.1998) is a figurative painter and draftsperson. Suter grew up in the Hudson Valley and earned her BFA in Painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2020. Suter currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
