Becky Suss: The Dutch House at ArtisꟷNaples, The Baker Museum

This solo exhibition of new paintings by Becky Suss was inspired by American author Ann Patchett’s 2019 novel, The Dutch House, which chronicles two adult siblings recalling their childhoods and the subsequent dissolution of their family over several decades. A central character in the novel is the “Dutch House,” their childhood home. In her Dutch House paintings, Suss portrays her vision of the fictional mansion by interpreting both literary details from Patchett’s narrative and by incorporating details specific to her own biography.
