About the Item
"Trace #13 " Mixed Media on Denril Paper, 49 1/2 x 42 Inches.
Lyrical, vivid abstraction in red, yellow, blue, pink, white and purple.
Denril paper is closely related to tracing paper and vellum.
The artist has mounted this work on rag board and framed it in light wood.
This work can be read as a pure abstraction or one in which elements of an abstracted water experience includes filtered light and underwater sea life. It is part of a series of highly colorful, linear and color field drawings (some smaller) on denril paper which is closely related to tracing paper and vellum and allows for intriguing explorations of qualities of transparency and overlapping.
Susan Sharp is an outstanding abstract painter of biomorphic and linear forms, flat planes, vivid color and highly glossy surfaces who works in a wide variety of sizes on wood, mylar and paper. Her oil and acrylic paintings consist of individual panels or several panels which are installed individually abutting each other, allowing for the option of showing them as one piece or 2 paintings shown in very close proximity.
An intense colorist, Sharp makes fresh what artists have been challenged by for years, hand and eye coming together to create sensuous, fluid, and radiant paintings, inspired by external and inward experiences.
Some aspect of landscape is the primary inspiration for these spirited and gratifyingly fresh abstractions which are paradoxically both spontaneous and methodical, extremely sophisticated in their play of textures on flat surface, and their complex integration of biomorphic and geometric forms. Sharp conveys her love of color and process inspired by nature as she brilliantly and delightfully takes chances by walking a fine line between the accidental and the controlled.
Susan Sharp:
"My approach to painting is intuitive and a continuing process of self discovery. Working flat, several layers of fluid paint are applied to either paper, mylar or wood panels, imbuing the works with an inner light. Scale shifts and unexpected juxtapositions combined with overlays of the linear and geometric elements, and subtle references to anthropomorphic forms which coexist with these elements, navigate disparate worlds.
The density of the woodlands surrounding my Easton (CT) home, the weight and transparency of water as well as topographical drawings and photos done while flying, are all sources of inspiration. Meandering rivers and roads, or blood vessels, translate into flowing linear connectors, land masses to body parts. The ambiguity expressed in my works is what compels me. I am drawn to paint in its liquid state, where forms are in the process of emerging. Pouring several layers of paint on smooth surfaces , such as paper or mdf panels, results in dense and translucent personal topographies. The abstract imagery born is both psychological and intuitive. Scale shifts, pattern and unexpected juxtapositions add to the sense of play and ambiguity."
Susan Sharp’s paintings have been seen in numerous solo exhibitions in New York and Connecticut and in many group exhibitions in private galleries and public institutions nationwide including the Silvermine Art Center, the Housatonic Museum of Art, and the Stamford Museum. She is the recipient of awards from the Silvermine Arts Center, the Connecticut Commission on the Arts and the Stamford Museum. Sharp’s paintings are included in distinguished private collections as well as such public collections as the State of Connecticut, General Electric, Chase Manhattan Bank, Kidder Peabody Corporation, the Town of Fairfield, CT, Huntington Bank, Pullman & Comley and the Housatonic Museum of Art.
