Born in Singapore; resides in Sydney. Suzann Victor has emerged as a leading figure in Singapore contemporary art. Her early paintings were abstract and highly expressive. Co-founder of the now defunct alternative space 5th Passage, she has been associated with the development of feminist art discourse in Singapore, although she resists any defined categorisation of her work. Victor's works frequently capitalise on the power of graphic and theatrical devices, as well as the fluent use of cultural theory in engaging issues. Her works are characterised by a radical curiosity about taboo or sensitive subjects including female genitalia or the post-colonial condition. She has drawn critical attention for her ability to articulate complex ideas in a striking form. Victor’s participation in the 49th Venice Biennale establishes her as serious and committed artist.
