Drawing upon Glenn Suokko’s Scandinavian heritage, his recent project delves into animals as symbolic figures, forging a subconscious connection that evokes Nordic themes through both formal and stylistic exploration. His paintings feature subtle color palettes contrasted with bold, often flat brushwork and striking geometric shapes. These elements are combined with textures crafted through a variety of innovative tools and painting techniques, inviting viewers to discover primal meaning within quiet, minimalist compositions.

Through the dynamic interplay of geometry, line, and gesture, Suokko crafts a visual language imbued with silent intensity and profound contemplation. Each painting in this series is executed on 100% cotton oil paper from Arches, a prestigious paper mill in Northeastern France, established in 1492. The completed artworks are handsomely framed by Guido Frames in Dedham, Massachusetts, ensuring a sophisticated presentation that enhances the subtle strength of the pieces.

Glenn Suokko’s painting studio is nestled in the serene hills of rural Woodstock, Vermont. This space serves both as a productive workshop and an informal gallery, where visitors can view works in progress alongside recently completed paintings. Friends and art enthusiasts are welcome to explore the studio and gain insight into Glenn’s creative process.
