Giant Robot is proud to present Teacher’s Pets, a solo art show by Susie Ghahremani at GRNY.

Ghahremani is a RISD graduate who has contributed work to Nickelodeon, Chronicle Books, and The New York Times, and was featured in the 2006 American Illustration publication. Illustrations by the San Diego artist have a patchwork appearance that is simple in design, complex in execution, and all-around pleasing to the eye. In addition to making two-dimensional art, she crafts tote bags, buttons, wallets, stationery, and other goodies.

Themes of the show include patterns and fine detail, animals and nature, and interior spaces with domesticated wildlife. Ghahremani titled it “Teacher’s Pets” because she takes imaginary animals and teaches them how to do her favorite things: play the piano, make origami, ride a bike, swing in a hammock without falling out. Nearly 200 paintings, soft sculptures, unframed line drawings, framed work, wood pieces, and miniatures will be on display.

A reception for Ghahremani will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, August 18.
