Suzanne Moxhay builds intricate montages inspired by the artifice of cinema. Her practice encompasses photography, model-making, painting, and printmaking, combining these processes to construct immersive and psychologically charged spaces. Working intuitively, she explores the connections between real places she has experienced and imagined environments drawn from film, memory, and fiction. Positioned at the threshold of these scenes, viewers are invited to speculate on the narratives unfolding within them.

Moxhay’s layered compositions blur distinctions between reality and fabrication, often creating environments that feel simultaneously familiar and uncanny. Through carefully staged atmospheres and fragmented architectural spaces, her work examines perception, memory, and the emotional resonance of place.

Moxhay completed a Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Academy Schools, London (2004–2007), following a BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Painting at Chelsea School of Art, London (2001–2004).

Awards and commissions include a Print Commission for RA Editions at the Royal Academy of Arts (2019), finalist for the BNL BNP Paribas Group Award in Milan (2014), and the FSA Ambitious Works Award (2006). Her work is held in collections including the Royal Academy of Arts, Cooper Union, New York, the FSC Collection, University of the Arts London, Bridgewater State University, Oxford University, the Loedevans Collection, and the University of Warwick.
