Publicity Art - Suzanne Moxhay
Suzanne is an London based artist whose work centres on a highly mediated approach to photography. Through mixing low tech cut and paste techniques in the studio with processes of digital manipulation Suzanne creates environments that are never quite believable as real but draw in the viewer in a way similar to the obviously constructed spaces of old film sets.
Since graduating from the Royal Academy Schools in 2007 she has been an Artist in Residence at the Florence Trust Studios and has exhibited her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in London, Europe and the USA. She was the recipient of the FSA Ambitious Works Award in 2006 and the Dunoyer de Segonzac Award in 2007. Her work has been reviewed in numerous publications including The Guardian and Art World Magazine. Suzanne is now looking forward to creating her unique vision for Pranks.
