ABOUT

Fempop is a new work created by Suzanne Gately where modernized pop art meets comic book animation in a collage of strong female characters. Sourced from a variety of fictional worlds of female popular culture and pop art. 
In a market historically saturated with boy-obsessed girls and damsels in distress, this work focuses on highlighting some of fiction’s best-developed, strong, three-dimensional, female characters.

The work has two main sections:
the core animation – featuring recognizable female fictional characters; occasionally reimagined (i.e. Chinese Alice in Wonderland). Copyrighted characters appearing as silhouettes with detailed backgrounds and public domain characters appearing detailed with silhouetted backgrounds.

Suzanne Gately is a digital native and fluid creative who lives and works in Sydney. She is a young videographer, photographer, and designer who has produced, directed and edited a range of video works, with her greatest interest in video post­production.

Suzanne loves the artistry that is available within motion picture. She intends to build an indelible career as an editor and further explore her talent for production and directing. Aiming to create work that communicate modern issues and celebrations of culture, Suzanne is looking forward to spending much more time returning to developing independent, original content, such as FEMPOP which debuted at Chin Chin Melbourne as part of White Night 2018.
