Patricia Suslo is an artist based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her practice centers on drawing and printmaking.
Suslo received her BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City. Today, she is working toward her MFA at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
In recent series, Suslo works with ideas of containment, social organization, and hierarchical structures. Using visual strategies such as silhouetting, separation, and segmentation, she constructs images that control and limit the information available to the viewer. Through her practice, Suslo aims to ask how the modern U.S. resident reconciles ideals of individualism with the erosion of rights and community.
In addition to her art practice, Patricia Suslo is a founding member of Glue art collective, teacher, and curator.
