Suzanne Treister: Interview of the Month, April 2025
Paul Carey-Kent is interviewed by Suzanne Treister at Annely Juda in London. “The only thing that matters is what we say we’re going to do, and then we do it.” – Suzanne Treister
“I was a feminist, but I never thought of myself as a feminist artist.” – Suzanne Treister
Suzanne Treister, the pioneering female artist whose work explores the intersection of feminism, politics, and technology, is showing a new series of works at Annely Juda in London, alongside a selection of her visionary Museum paintings. As Paul Carey-Kent sat down with Treister in the gallery, it was clear that the 58-year-old artist had much to discuss. Suzanne Treister is known for her bold, often provocative works that challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in the art world. Her latest series, Hexen 5.0, is no exception. The works, which feature intricate, often disturbing depictions of women in various states of power and vulnerability, are both a commentary on the ways in which women are perceived and treated in society, and a testament to the enduring power of female creativity. Suzanne Treister’s work has been the subject of much debate and discussion over the years, and her latest series is no exception. But as Treister herself notes, “The only thing that matters is what we say we’re going to do, and then we do it.” She emphasizes that her work is not just about making art, but about creating a sense of community and connection among those who engage with it. “I was a feminist, but I never thought of myself as a feminist artist.” Treister says with a laugh. “I just wanted to make art that would make people think, and challenge their assumptions about the world.” This desire to challenge and subvert has been a hallmark of Treister’s career, and her work continues to push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in the upcoming exhibition. When asked about her inspiration for Hexen 5.0, Treister points to the complexities and contradictions of modern life. “We live in a world where technology is advancing at an incredible rate, and yet, we are still stuck in the same old ways of thinking and behaving.” She notes that her work is a response to this paradox, and a call to action to challenge our assumptions and create a more just and equitable society. Treister’s work is a testament to her own personal experiences and perspectives, as well as her commitment to creating a sense of community and connection among those who engage with her art. Her use of imagery, symbolism, and narrative is both powerful and evocative, and her ability to convey complex ideas and emotions through her work is unparalleled. “I believe that art has the power to change the world, but it’s not just about the art itself, it’s about the conversation that happens around it,” Treister says. “I want my work to be a catalyst for that conversation, to inspire people to think differently and challenge their assumptions about the world.” This desire to inspire and challenge is at the heart of Treister’s work, and her latest series is no exception. As the exhibition comes to a close, Treister reflects on the importance of her work and the impact it can have on those who engage with it. “The only thing that matters is what we say we’re going to do, and then we do it,” she reiterates. “I hope that my work will inspire people to take action, to challenge the status quo and create a more just and equitable society.”
“I’m not just an artist, I’m a storyteller,” Treister says with a smile. “I want my work to be a reflection of the world we live in, and a call to action to create a better one.” Treister’s work is a testament to her own unique vision and perspective, and her commitment to creating a sense of community and connection among those who engage with her art. As we close this interview, it’s clear that Treister’s work will continue to inspire and challenge, and that her legacy as a pioneering female artist will be cemented for generations to come. – Paul Carey-Kent
