About the Item

"Floating World," Oil on 2 Panels, 48 x 49 Inches (Diptych) Abstraction in bright blue/turquoise, cream,yellow, burgundy, black yellow ochre, and green. Note: Can be installed with panels slightly separated or with no space in between the two. 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. An intense colorist, Sharp makes fresh what artists have been challenged by for years: hand and eye spontaneously and/or deliberately coming together to create sensuous, fluid, and radiant paintings, inspired by external and inward experiences. Landscape is the primary objective inspiration for these spirited and gratifyingly fresh abstractions filled with light which are paradoxically both quickly intuitive and methodical, extremely sophisticated in their play of textures on a 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 graphic, 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 to paint." 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.
