Deva Suckerman
"Forgotten Meanings," paintings on wood
By creating meaning from "forgotten" materials, Deva explores the human experience in a manner that is emotionally and spiritually provocative. The warm, sacred, and imperfect qualities of the wood combine with balanced yet somber figures as a means of exploring life's duality. What develops is an honest and authentic exploration that encourages viewers to respond in a way that is both personal and universal.
