Brea Souders is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY, whose work bridges studio-based practices and observational photography. She combines photographs, text, painting, and other materials to make work about authenticity, belonging, and otherness within technological landscapes. While she values control in her images, she also embraces chance and the unknowable, observing that “illumination isn’t guaranteed.” Souders has exhibited her work internationally, including exhibitions at Foam Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands; the Centre Photographique Rouen Normandie, France; PhMuseum, Bologna, Italy; and Peckham 24, London, UK, as well as Baxter St at CCNY, The Hole, and the Abrons Arts Center in New York. She is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, a National Arts Club Fellowship, and a Baxter St at CCNY Residency. Essays and reviews of her work have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, Artforum, Frieze, i-D, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and The New Yorker. She is the author of the books Another Online Pervert (MACK, 2023) and Brea Souders: Eleven Years (Saint Lucy Books, 2021).
