Sue de Beer (born September 8, 1973)[1] is a contemporary artist who lives and works in New York City.

[2] De Beer's work is located at the intersection of film, installation, sculpture, and photography, and she is primarily known for her large-scale film-installations.

She cites the aesthetic of 1700 and 1900 New England as an early influence on her work: Growing up in a rambling Victorian house with a widow's walk in Salem, Mass., which still exudes an air of its witchy past, she felt that mysticism was a kind of birthright, and it has been a more prominent element of her work in recent years.

Ms. de Beer has also borrowed from the dark, violent post-religious mysticism of the novelist Dennis Cooper.

Her work has been the subject of several major solo exhibitions including "Hans & Grete", at the Kunst-Werke, Berlin, "Black Sun", at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria, "Permanent Revolution" at the MuHKA Museum in Antwerp, Belgium, and "the Ghosts" at the Park Avenue Armory in New York.
