Description of Exhibit - Taken from Sara Suppan: A Small Good Thing — Weinstein Hammons Gallery

Sara Suppan’s exhibition, A Small Good Thing, borrows its title from Raymond Carver’s 1983 short story that emphasizes the importance of small gestures of kindness and human connection. Paintings included in this exhibition showcase what Suppan describes as “small good things” –– a folded two-dollar bill shaped like a butterfly, a glass of cold water with its surface covered in dripping beads of condensation, a ladybug sitting on top of a cluster of pomegranates, and a broken arm in an ornately painted cast with a permanent thumbs-up. Each canvas centers these objects as intimate offerings, inviting close inspection and creating sincere portraits of everyday items. Suppan’s work balances authenticity with a touch of whimsy, as she pairs traditional painting techniques with humor. 

Sara Suppan (American, born 1994) is an artist living and working in Minneapolis. Her paintings have been published in New American Paintings magazine (No. 155 and No. 173), and she has been awarded grant funding for her work from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (2023), and from the Minnesota State Arts Board (2017, 2021). Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Suppan holds a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. This is her first solo exhibition with Weinstein Hammons Gallery.
