KATHY SUDER - VISUAL ARTIST & PHOTOGRAPHER
Originally trained as a painter, artist Kathy Suder captures moments of intense human exchange. Suder first came onto the scene with her analog work, KNOCKOUT, documenting professional boxers, which categorically distinguished her from male counterparts of the time. These images, described by The New Yorker, as “owing more to Caravaggio than to Sports Illustrated,” embrace chiaroscuro compositional techniques that illustrate the fluidity of the medium rather than the stagnancy of a moment stopped in time. In the early 2000s, she briefly studied with Ralph Gibson, Eric Fischl and Arno Minkkinnen, transforming her photographic style. This was ultimately reflected in her first solo exhibition UNDERGROUND (2014) at the Amon Carter Museum, featuring large format portraits of subway riders in London, Tokyo, and New York. Subsequently, Suder has continued to challenge traditional notions of documentary photography with her series Everybody Is Somebody capturing the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, CA. The work was showcased at Bombay Beach Biennale (2019) and featured in The New York Times, Playboy Magazine, Los Angeles Times and KCRW. Her work has been acquired by a number of major private collectors and her photographs are in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and the Pérez Art Museum Miami.
