Susannah Douglas

Born in 1981 in Belfast, UK, Susannah Douglas creates detailed figurative drawings. She is concerned with representing the human figure through conventions of portraiture. The artist uncovers images from various sources such as art historical archives, old photocopies, anonymous photographs found online, and glossy magazine spreads. She splices these fragments together, blending and reconstructing multiple poses, gestures, attire, and compositions, posing the question: how can conventions aspire to uniqueness when continually promoting the generic?

Susannah has an MA from Wimbledon College of Art (2009–10) and a BA in Fine Art from Falmouth College of Art (2000–03). The artist references collaged material to create her intricate pencil drawings, bringing together myriad narratives and photographic conventions. The fragility of the drawn images and reconstruction of these stories complicates the relationship to originality whilst maintaining the nostalgic desire for something unique and hand-crafted.
