Mountainwork- Suzanne van Soest
A year ago, artist van Soest left for La Grave, a raw Alpine village with a single cable car (télépherique) to 3600 meters altitude supporting a small international community of people from all the corners of the world. – Suzanne has been living and working with locals in an auberge de Montagne. The goal was a ‘Full Stop’ from city life. In an instant, everything to inspires an artist became totally different. Inspiration came as one big single wave. An alternative reality where contrasts in life are a central theme.
Nature can be deadly. The language was strange. During wild journeys through the mountains, she encountered people. Their stories inspired drawings. And those drawings became big paintings, screen prints and a book. -
