Susan English
Vertical Landscape, Horizontal Glossy Painting, Pale Jade Green, Light Teal

2023

About the Item

The surface of Vertical Landscape by Susan English is a wonderful play of color, light, and composition. Hues of soft jade, pale sage green, light mint, emerald green and pale bluish periwinkle meet and merge in softly transitioning planes composed of multiple panels. The poured layers of English's tinted polymer on floating aluminum panel create the depth and surface textures throughout the painting, from matte to luminous high gloss. Signed and titled on verso. Susan English’s paintings are rich in their sophisticated vocabulary of color and surface. By expertly pouring layers of tinted polymer paints English has arrived at a body of work whose minimalist appearance belies their complexities. Through a series of planned pours and the manipulation of smooth aluminum panels English both directs and anticipates how the paint will accumulate, disperse, resist, and form its own small abstractions. English makes her paintings through process, intention, experience, and chance. The thickness and viscosity of the paint dictates the subtleties in appearance and the intensity of each color. Her painting’s surfaces range from matte to medium or high gloss, each variously absorbing or reflecting light. The panels are assembled into specifically calibrated horizontal or vertical sequences existing always in relationship to the light in the room and the position of the viewer.  Susan English's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions throughout the United Sates. English received a fellowship at the Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts, Ithaca, NY and was Artist-in-Residence at Habitat for Artists, Garrison, NY. Her work has been reviewed in The New York Times, Chronogram, Abstract Art Online and the Philadelphia Inquirer, to name a few. English earned an MFA from Hunter College, New York, NY and BA from Hamilton College, Clinton, NY. She lives and works in Cold Spring, NY.
