Su Su | Bombyx Paintings

Like the silk moths the series is named for, Chinese-born, Pittsburgh-based artist Su Su’s Bombyx Paintings quiver with a physical fervor. Thin strands of oil paint in an innumerable amount of colors reach through the silk tulle foundation of each work, forming highly-texturized self-portraits that turn gravity upside down.
The process behind Su Su’s Bombyx Paintings is one of her own invention. Using fine-tipped syringes filled with oil paint, the artist gingerly injects color through a stretched sheet of silk. At a painstaking pace, Su Su’s compositions come to life via this amalgamation of texture-only visible to the artist through a large mirror laid underneath.
Su Su, "From Your Special Friend" is on view from September 3 to November 5 at Kavi Gupta | Washington Blvd Fl. 1.

Beautiful creations ❤💖❤

[@bigrplayer4070]

Love your art! You accentuate one of the biggest reasons I love art - your vision caused you to develop your way (for now) to create - ever changing, every shifting. I love how you state the invisibility of the art when not being studied, I wonder how that will shift in the future through collaborations. Still one of my favorite things to do, go to a museum, pick a piece and just look deeply.

I love her work and her process of thinking. She is a neat person

[@pierregrenier]

What I really like besides your paintings is your clear vision and open minded attitude in your work. There is an honesty and a candid outlook on what art is... This is the first time I see your art and it is inspiring in many ways... Thank you.

[@leila7466]

I was lucky to see an exhibit with a few of her paintings in LA, the texture of the Bombyx paintings are amazing to see in person, I never would've guessed this is how they were made!

[@wendysalter]

Su Su's art is amazing, have a depth you need to dive into.

[@mindym.1166]

Well said AI 😂

[@StonedustandStardust]

I have no words except Wonderful 👍

[@glassarthouse]

I agree so deeply with so much of what she is saying here. I have said this over and over in conversations about my own work. Attracting attention is the motive for great art, IMO.

[@CG-ql5rr]

Nice concept,very unique,but if i would make such an art i would be concerned in it's long lasting,it feels very fragile

[@meredith7236]

Omg the patience

[@ivanklymenko]

🤩🤩🤩

[@JOSEPHCHARLESCOLIN2024]

wow ! ( Edit Comment : Nobody in the art world paints like this = $1,000,000 - $10,000,000 per Work - my Opinion only )

[@2024SLCLUBBERS]

Auction

[@maxbobo3904]

I think it’s better to save the bug than using it as decorations😢

[@readthetype]

_“…as a female, people don’t spend time to read me…”_ I hope something is getting lost in translation there, because that’s a *seriously* heinous and sweeping accusation of bigotry. There’s lots of reasons people might not like your work. Accusing them of misogyny by default is pathetic and shameful. A competent artist (decent human being) should know better.

[@kingkongprimpinella774]

I don't like people who pin dead creatures on their work to enhance their bad art. This person doesn't care about anything except themselves.

[@Frank50505]

Wow!
