Sue Wyllie

£0.00
Sue Wyllie’s current body of work involves making pseudo-botanical prints of orchids which explore the ideal of the beautiful within inherent ugliness. But these are not representations of orchids in their natural guise these are orchids tainted with human flesh, human ideals, human desires. It is as if they are seen through a liminal lens, where the imagination wrestles with the factual to kindle new forms of being. Nor are these orchids placed in a natural environment, they emerge from the darkness of the imagination as ugly, beautiful, sexual, compelling mutant forms. Drawing upon her love of orchids, and the many dark stories that embellish our ideas of these compelling flowers, Wyllie engineers strange and impossible forms that emerge from the darkest shadows.

Sue Wyllie is a printmaker living in rural Mid Devon and has a studio in the Exe Valley.
She graduated from Northumbria University in 1982 after studying Fine Art and studied an MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking at UWE completing in 2021.

Her work has been shown throughout the UK including The Royal West of England Academy Open Exhibition, the RBSA Print Prize in Birmingham, Small and Mighty at the Bankside Gallery and more. She has had work included in the previous three years of Woolwich Print Show where in 2021 she won the City and Guilds London Art School Prize.
