Birds gathers Glenn Suokko’s recent paintings of the crows, songbirds, and game birds he encounters in rural Vermont. Working in oil and oil pastel, Suokko builds each image through layering, scraping, and repainting until it feels remembered rather than observed—a quiet record of motion caught at rest. Muted, weathered surfaces and reduced, gestural forms turn ordinary birds into small meditations on stillness, presence, and time.
