Suits, made in 2014, places Martine Gutierrez within a lineup of mannequins in a composition that is at once seductive and quietly disorienting. Printed on Arches Baryta and mounted on Sintra, the archival inkjet work belongs to an early body of photographs in which Gutierrez constructed lavish, hyper-feminine tableaux, altering her own appearance and that of her mannequin subjects until the boundary between the human and the fabricated becomes genuinely difficult to locate. The illusion is meticulous and intentional, inviting the eye to move across the image in search of the seam between what is real and what is artifice, and finding that the search itself is the point. Working across photography, video, installation, and performance, Gutierrez consistently positions herself at the center of her practice, inhabiting sleek, advertisement-inflected self-portraits that surface and subvert inherited conventions of beauty, gender, race, and class, while also engaging her own Mayan heritage. In Suits, her dialogue with the lineage of constructed photographic identity, a tradition with which artists like Cindy Sherman are closely associated, is animated by a distinctly different set of concerns, those of a transgender artist navigating representation from the inside. The result carries both the formal confidence of fashion imagery and the critical intelligence of conceptual portraiture. Gutierrez has been included in the central pavilion of the 58th Venice Biennale and is represented by RYAN LEE, New York. Her profile continues to grow significantly, with recent and forthcoming projects including a Public Art Fund commission across bus shelters in New York, Chicago, and Boston, a solo exhibition at the Blaffer Museum in Houston, and an upcoming solo presentation at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Suits is offered as an edition of eight, framed in white maple, at a compact scale of 50.8 by 76.2 centimeters, making it an accessible and historically grounded entry point into one of the most compelling photographic practices of her generation.
