See Vivian Suter’s New Show at ICA Boston, Inspired by Her Home in the Guatemalan Rainforest

“Vivian Suter”
Institution of Contemporary
Art, Boston
through December 31, 2019

What the Museum Says: Suter “works in close
partnership with the natural environment surrounding her home and
studio in Panajachel, Guatemala. The artist’s first Boston
exhibition will feature a single installation filling the galleries
with a canopy of color and shapes evocative of this lush
setting.”

Why It’s Worth a Look: The Argentine-Swiss
artist is in the midst of a career renaissance of sorts. Aside from
the ICA Boston show, 20 of her paintings are currently installed
along New York’s High Line in an outdoor show called “En Plein Air,” and she just closed her first New York
solo show at Gladstone Gallery in Chelsea. And all this comes after
Suter left society to live in the heart of the Guatemalan
rainforest, where the natural environment has come to play an
active role in her practice. Rain, mud, light, and plants all
figure into her recent work, bringing the colors and textures of
her remote home into the museum space.
