Susan Chen: Purell Night & Day
The notion of time plays a noteworthy role in Chen’s latest body of work. The repetition of recreating the same subject matter serves as a diary of sorts, a daily log of the artist’s presence in her studio and the slight but meaningful compositional changes she imbued onto each canvas. Meditative in nature, this process tapped into a sense of quiet, not dissimilar from a shared emotional state felt during the pandemic, and close observation. Taking time more literally, Purell Clock: Night and Purell Clock: Day ground the exhibition with their obvious take on the passing of time.
