PROVENANCE
Collection of the Artist


Scott Sueme is a visual artist living and working in Vancouver, Canada. Solo exhibitions include Building Buildings at Mayberry Fine Art in Winnipeg (2021); Bone Broth at Mayberry Fine Art in Toronto (2019); Habitat (201), Homework (2018), and Retreat (2016), all at Kimoto Gallery in Vancouver. Selected group exhibitions include Intercepting the Nature of Colour and Form at Gallery Jones (2020); Sleeping Arrangements at Uprise Art in New York, NY (2019); Abstract Design Showcase at Kimoto Gallery in Vancouver (2017); Chance Visitor at A Word of Art in Cape Town, South Africa (2012); and Fast Forward at First Amendment Gallery in San Francisco, CA. Selected special projects include Pools, a mural installation and design at Mount Pleasant basketball court in Vancouver (2017), and Box of Crayons a mural installation and design at Hootsuite HQ in Vancouver (2016). Sueme’s work has been acquired by several corporate clients and collections including the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Parks Board, Edmonton Arts Council, Whistler Arts Council, HCMA Architecture, Nike Canada, Lululemon Athletica, The Civic Hotel, The Astoria Hotel, The Waldorf Hotel, among others. In 2016, Sueme created a mural with BAF at 150 E Cordova in Vancouver “to capture the energy and colourful design from graffiti and street art and convey it in a modern and sophisticated manner” (Sueme on his InGastown mural).

Glass Building is a part of Sueme's series Building Buildings. Building Buildings is an impression of city dwelling – how we construct, refine, nest, and live in spaces. The familiar escape from the city into the idealistic beauty of nature is reversed, where the artist turns inwards to draw inspiration from the details of everyday surroundings. The two-dimensionality of painting is challenged by releasing flatness and shifting towards volume and texture. Architectural motifs are mirrored through compositional forms, grids, and objects, mobilized by the materiality of paint. Glass Building is a unique work.
