Works by Sue Coe
Through March 11, 2009
Opening reception: Thursday, January 22, 5-7pm
 
Terms such as “graphic witness” and “visual journalist” aptly describe Sue Coe.  She travels in the footsteps of artists such as Francisco de Goya and K the Kollwitz, plunging into the depths of humanity’s darker side and addressing our propensity for cruelty and oppression.  Her visceral and expressionistic works address issues that permeate our society, but are often overlooked or dismissed as legitimate subject matter for a contemporary art world.  Taking on subjects of war, rape, animal cruelty and mass slaughter has placed Coe in the forefront of political action through art and creating social and personal awareness of our humanity.
