Suzanne Banning

Visual Artist: Photography

About the artist: Suzanne Banning is a Dutch-born artist who currently lives and works in Houston, TX. She does predominantly self-portraits in which she impersonates someone else; most recently her “Lolita” series.

Her experimental, award-winning photographs have been exhibited in countless exhibitions locally, nationally and internationally.

Jurors/curators who selected her art are: Dan Cameron, Andrea Karnes, Gus Kopriva, Dominic Molon, Marysol Nieves, James Rondeau, Jackson Rushing and Clint Willour.

Art critic and Professor of Art History W. Jackson Rushing III states in an essay about Banning’s work: “…she distills and presents to her audience what another Dutch artist, Willem De Kooning, called “frozen glimpses” of singular moments where cognition and pure sensation commingle and the self sings its private, unfettered song of desire.”

Banning’s work is in the collection of the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi. Recently her artwork was shown at the “Shanghai Art Museum” in China, the “Museo de la Nación” in Lima, Peru and the “Museo de Arte Moderno” in Trujillo, Peru.
