Highly recommended



The Soldier series by artist Suzanne Opton is the most compelling group of portraits I have seen in a long time. In an interview she said she was given access and full cooperation from Fort Hood as soon as she told them the work was not political. Vince Aletti's review in the New Yorker's February 12, 2007 issue of the show opening this week at Peter Hay Halpert's gallery in New York states "Dispensing with theatrics, Opton finds genuine drama".
