Suzie Idiens is a contemporary artist known for her geometric wall sculptures characterised by highly reflective surfaces. Through the use of industrial materials and a meticulous process that removes any trace of her own hand, her works emerge as independent objects, mirroring their surroundings and making the observer integral to the experience. Idiens is interested in the subjective nature of perception and the paradox that arises when viewing reductive abstract art – both self-referential and rational, yet capable of evoking a visceral response. Her practice balances intuitive decisions with formal concerns, methodically adjusting geometric forms and restricting the use of colour to a monochrome palette, resulting in singular objects with a minimalist aesthetic that bridge conventional notions of painting and sculpture.
