> DESCRIPTION

Sue Coe is a keen observer and a “graphic witness” of realities often overlooked or avoided in the media. She is a journalist who favors printed images over words. Her commentary on political events and social injustice is published in newspapers, magazines, and books, and it hangs in galleries, museums, and private collections of collectors and activists alike. She has been described as one of the most important politically-oriented artists alive today. A picture is worth a thousand words - come see for yourself.

“Coe’s dark and sinewy figures… bring to mind Goya and Daumier.  Her blunt pictures clear your moral sinuses like ammonia.” -NEWSWEEK

This exhibit features work from her latest book, Dead Meat. Armed with her sketchbook, Sue Coe traveled across the United States, following the path from factory farm to feedlot, to the “killing floor” of the slaughterhouse.  Her firsthand observations are rendered in her diaries and artwork - stunning, unforgettable images.
