Sara Suppan, an oil painter, blends humor and sincerity in her evocative works that capture everyday absurdities. Her scenes, like wristwatches drawn on skin and Cheeto-dusted fingertips, are both whimsical and relatable. Suppan approaches her art with a blue-collar work ethic, paying homage to labor and skill through her detailed and technically adept paintings. She views her art as a playful commentary on the nature of work and societal expectations, using elements like origami butterflies made of cash to challenge conventional attitudes.
"Some of my work is what I call 'good paintings of bad drawings', validating the absurdity of life through scenes that are both sincere and humorous."
"I come from farmers and approach painting in a farmer-ly manner, rising every morning to do the studio chores and to put in long hours tending my canvases."
