Suzanne Adan : I'm No Spring Chicken

The story and art of Suzanne Adan, one of California s best and most fastidious painters.

California Pop and Funk meet Chicago s Hairy Who in Suzanne Adan's personal universes that combine fantasy, American vernacular culture, and autobiography. This publication assembles some one hundred and twenty of her paintings, drawings, scratchboards, and ceramics, along with supplemental illustrations and photographs, making it the most comprehensive survey of her work.

Adan developed her iconography and iconic style early on and became one of California s best and most fastidious painters. Raised in Yolo, a village not far from Sacramento, she combines her small-town childhood and adult themes of innocence lost with a sense of humor, satire, and irreverence. In word and images, this publication captures her story and sardonic wit, with a twist of nostalgia that befits her practice.
