The Hudson Valley-based painter Susan Hope Fogel uses watercolor to conjure moody metropolitan landscapes, as with "The Veil." Presented as a framed diptych on paper with a deckled edge, Fogel's loosely descriptive rendition in this artwork calls to mind a memory or dream sequence. Owing to the limited color palette of blues and whites, as well as the myriad textures she achieves in watercolor, the piece registers as both abstract and figurative.
About the artist:
After spending many years painting in the style of traditional realism, Susan had the opportunity to work with Paul Ching-Bor to explore a new form of expression in deconstructionist watercolor. Working in New York City with a group of large scale watercolorists, Susan found herself fascinated by the experimental quality of this new media. A great departure from the world of realism this media allowed for great freedom of expression creating from an intuitive place. The focus of her work has shifted to large scale watercolor painting with an emphasis on abstraction of landscape and cityscape. Susan has studied in art schools in New York City including The New York Academy of Art, The Art Students League and The National Academy of Design. Fogel's work has been exhibited in Boston, Cape Cod, Santa Fe, Vicopisano (Italy) and Istanbul (Turkey) as well as several locations throughout New York/New Jersey region. Her art school, The Warwick Atelier, was founded in 2008.

Susan Hope Fogel
There is no doubt that Susan Hope Fogel will be concerned one of the 'modern masters' of her time. Early in her career, Fogel held a distinctly classical approach to traditional realism as evidenced in her landscape and still life paintings. Created in oil, painted in studio or plein air, she always paints the light. When one considers the difficulty in understanding the role of light on form and color, especially its ever-changing presence and effect, it is perhaps easier to understand the dismissal of classical training by both "modern" artists and the numerous middlemen involved in the artworld of today. In 2015, after spending many years painting in the style of traditional realism, Susan Hope Fogel had the opportunity to work with Paul Ching-Bor to explore a new form of expression in Deconstructionist Watercolor. Working in New York City with a group of large scale watercolorists, Fogel soon found herself fascinated by the experimental quality of this new media. A great departure from the world of realism this media allowed for great freedom of expression creating from an intuitive place, deep within, instead of inspiration from the outside world. The focus of her work has now shifted to large scale watercolor painting with an emphasis on abstraction of landscape and cityscape. Susan has studied in art schools in New York City including: classical drawing at The New York Academy of Art, figure and portrait painting at The Art Students League and The National Academy of Design. She credits John Philip Osborne for developing her painter’s eyes at The Ridgewood Art Institute.

- Untitled: Abstract Painting of Decorative Leaf Motif in Bronze & GoldBy Frank FaulknerLocated in Hudson, NYAbstract acrylic painting of a decorative fern motif with a patina of dark gold and bronze "Untitled (Hudson, NY)", painted by Frank Faulkner, c. 2007 60 x 48 x 1.5 inches, acrylic on wood panel Wire backing for secure installation Signed, verso This abstract painting was made by Frank Faulkner in 2007. This composition features a decorative leaf motif that radiates outwards from the center. The design is constructed with built up acrylic which creates an impasto surface, similar to a relief. The painting is unframed and the edges reveal drips from the layers of paint applied the surface. It's in excellent condition and ready to hang as is. More about the work: Revered artist and designer Frank Faulkner was well known among locals for his handsome restorations of prominent historic proprieties on Hudson’s Warren Street and beyond. It is apparent that the applied arts like classical architecture, Persian rugs, chinoiserie, and Samurai armor greatly influenced his own painting style. His technique employs a rich variety of texture and color evoking the qualities of mosaics and tapestry. According to the artist, the paintings on view experiment with representational imagery. Central designs are positioned in spaces suggestive of landscapes where the settings utilize horizon lines and natural, atmospheric light. Organic compositions take their cues from natural flora endowed with fantasy, which intentionally disorient the viewer. These works present the argument for the imaginary versus the empirical world. About the artist: Born in Sumter, South Carolina in 1946, Frank Faulkner received his B.F.A. from the University of North Carolina in 1968, Phi Beta Kappa, and his M.F.A. from the same institution in 1972. Faulkner’s work quickly won him numerous grants and awards, including an individual artist grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1974. He was selected for the Whitney Biennial in 1975, which prompted him to settle in New York. There, he came to the attention of Dorothy Miller, Curator Emeritus of the Museum of Modern Art with a legendary eye for new talent. Since then, Faulkner has continued to garner acclaim and awards. He has been featured in dozens of one-person exhibitions (not to mention group exhibitions) in this country, as well as in Japan, Switzerland, and Germany. Faulkner’s work is owned by leading museums (the Smith College museum in Northampton, Massachusetts, for example, the National Museum of American Art and the Hirshhorn in Washington, D.C.) and by renowned collectors such as Nelson Rockefeller, Baron Leon Lambert, Phillip Hanes and Abba Eban. What a viewer first notices is the sheer elegance of the pieces, no matter what materials Faulkner uses—metal, wood and fabric as well as canvas and paper. Obvious, too, is the artist’s originality. Faulkner belongs to no school. His work is patterned but is far too intellectual to qualify as so-called “pattern art,” which mainly strives to be merely pretty. Rather, he paints in his own highly organized way, filling the surface without being excessive or boring. Faulkner sets up a system, say, of dots or dashes, then subtly changes the visual rhythms in order to add life and surprise—what he calls “the gymnastics of seeing.” He works and reworks the surfaces of his canvases, often laying down one thin layer of slightly reflective gold, silver or bronze paint upon another until the final work seems to glow with inner light. John Ashbery, a leading critic and poet, has likened Faulkner’s art to minimalist music, which achieves both simplicity and beauty from its obsessive repetitions. The critic Carter Ratcliff describes it more simply as “brilliant artifice.” Faulkner’s current work, a series of paintings on paper, continues and deepens this exploration of the relationship between wrought surface and changing light. Another striking aspect of the work is the influence of the decorative arts. Faulkner has made some paintings on wood that stand independently and fold open like screens. Other pieces resemble large tapestries, and yet others take their inspiration from Art Nouveau inlays...Category
