AFTER THE STORM 1969 Abstract Large Encaustic/Oil 60x48 Female Surrealist Artist

1969

About the Item

Suzanne Bloomfield’s 1969 painting, After the Storm, is a striking blend of oil and encaustic that immerses viewers in a world of renewal and transformation. Deep reds, earthy browns, and luminous golds create a rich, atmospheric depth, capturing the quiet tension that follows nature’s fury. The painting conveys both destruction and rebirth, reminding us that storms—both literal and metaphorical—leave behind traces of their energy long after they pass. Organic and floral forms swirl across the canvas, their fluid movement reflecting the lingering presence of the storm. Delicate white blossoms emerge from the darker hues, symbolizing resilience and renewal in the wake of upheaval. The encaustic medium enhances the painting’s tactile quality, with layers of wax creating depth and luminosity, allowing light to shift across the surface. This dynamic interplay of texture and color gives After the Storm a sense of movement, as if nature itself is slowly settling into stillness. More than just a depiction of the natural world, After the Storm is an evocative meditation on change—the tension between destruction and renewal, chaos and calm. Bloomfield masterfully translates emotion into form, inviting viewers to reflect on nature’s raw power and the quiet moments of transformation that follow. Born in 1934, the work of Suzanne Bloomfield represents the life force which binds us all -- a universal symbol for the soul's transformation. Bloomfield believes that painting is the discovering of beautiful secrets which are only uncovered in the searching. Her painting blends encaustic (an ancient painting method which adds pigment to heated beeswax) with oils. Her selected exhibitions include: Permanent Collection Archives, American Album, The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC; Foreign Exhibition Tour of India, National Association of Women Artists-Centennial Year, New York City; and International Latin American Exposition, Miami Florida.
