Contemporary artist Zoe Strauss is a native of south Philadelphia. She creates unflinchingly tough head-on color photographs that draw you close to the urban American we are most comfortable viewing from a safe distance. Her work addresses themes such as gender and identity; addiction and desire; what it means to be American; and hope, pride and joy. Strauss received a Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2005 and exhibited in the 2007 Whitney Biennial.
