I SAW A PIECE OF METAL
Neil Jordan I saw a piece of metal, standing, with an empty hole where part of a human should have been. I thought, how interesting, we’ll all be an absence someday. I later was a guest at Susie Stoisser’s back garden and saw huge, rusted metal dice cubes lying in the grass. As if […]
_rosa cloud_
The Art of Suse Stoisser: Mediation between Worlds WHAT DO WE TRULY SEE? WHERE HAS SEEING TAKEN US? Guenther Holler-Schuster Suse Stoisser’s art is rooted in opposites. Trained as both a painter and a sculptor, she refrains from favoring either medium. She deliberately combines such media as photography, video, prints or painting with such […]
THREE-DIMENSIONAL OPTIONS BETWEEN TRANSPARENCY, PERSPECTIVE AND IMAGINATION
Klaus Kada The quality of the artistic work of Sues Stoisser is characterized by her plastic, graphical, as well as three-dimensional skills, together with her sensitive approach towards questions about space, material, philosophical issues and phenomena of perception. By arranging layers of materials of transparent, specular and opaque nature she creates diverging profiles, and […]
LACK AND LOSS IN THE ART OF SUSE STOISSER
Ernesto di Mauro The meaning of certain words is perfectly ambiguous, as is their interpretation. The first example that comes to mind is just the word “Mind”. Mente in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Mind in English. All derived from the Latin Mens. In French, where this word does not exist, the same purport is indicated […]
CARVED IN STONE? – BEAM ME UP. What came to my mind- when viewing the art work of Suse Stoisser
BURKHARD RICHTER To get to the heart of things is a deeply anchored wish in Soisser’s works which manifests itself by the fact that many pieces have two sides that require individual perspectives. This can happen by arranging individually parts or ensembles of her sculptures (Box-series A&E). It also holds true for the individual […]
REDISCOVERY of DAS SCHWERE
Silvia Martín Gutiérrez The Austrian artist Suse Stoisser, born in Leibnitz in Southern Styria in 1964, shows a high level of creativity in her artistic oeuvre and is focused in recovering inspiration by turning energy and illusion into a feasible utopia. She shows us that it is possible to search for what Rilke called […]
SUSE STOISSER -omnia – vincit – amor- THE CLOISTER OF THE ABBEY. CAUNES-MINERVOIS.
Peter Wheeler The cloister and crypt of the abbey church in Caunes-Minervois provide the venue for an exhibition of recent sculpture by Suse Stoisser, entitled ‘Omnia Vincit Amor’. The material used for most of the works in the exhibition is steel and aluminium plate that has been cut into shapes, folded, painted and pierced […]
THE RECENT SCULPTURE OF SUSE STOISSER
Lee B. Brown When you are confronted by Suse Stoisser’s 2008 piece, And-Dna, you are struck by how light is its overall effect in spite of its use of such heavy material as steel and sandstone. The polished steel embedded in the stone gives the surface a mirror-like trompe l’oiel effect, as if you […]
ON THE BORDER TO BEAUTY
Vicenç Altaió In few years, the acceleration of the language of art and its expansion have been as powerful as has been its drift off course. In the last decades, from pure abstraction up to now, with modernity reaching its limits, still we were able to see the killing of the medium with conceptual […]
THE ART OF CONTEMPLATION
Stefanie Viereck A black figure, like a vintage silhouette portrait, springs lightly across a printed, perforated tarpaulin swinging freely in space. In the lower section, transparent fabric allows a glimpse of other silhouettes – those of gallery visitors. The shadowy visitors, the shadowy black floating figure, both are equally real and unreal. Suse Stoisser […]
