Susan Kim Alvarez

Storage is pleased to present artist Susan Kim Alvarez in Squonk, Squonky, Squonkalicious, the artist’s New York solo debut exhibition.

Alvarez draws upon personal anecdotes to achieve intimacy in her works. Her process is carefully uncalculated, highlighting her attention to detail, color, and imagination. Inspired by her life, family, and community, Alvarez uses humor and chaos to explore identity. Her spontaneous and unapologetic acrylic washes weave through bold characters and fantastical scenes in quick motion, offering a candid glimpse into her personality.
