About the Item

Suzanne Caporael 758 (your crown, sir), 2020 Oil on linen 66 x 54 inches 167.6 x 137.2 cm Signed and dated: "CAPORAEL 2020" (verso) -- Caporael continues her profound exploration of the nature of color, surface, and aesthetics. Her calm, yet invigorating paintings, composed of multiple veiled layers of oil paint, employ an aesthetic inherent to the experience of the real world. The artist’s ongoing investigation of rich colors, decisive placement of shapes, and juxtaposing forms makes her work endlessly inventive. The multiplicity of subjects in Caporael’s recent paintings are a departure from her previous focus on a particular subject or theme. Created under the staggering weight of current events, the paintings became a visual polyphony - an unshaped narrative of transient efforts to hold onto a thought long enough to paint it. Rather than developing variations on a single theme, the body of Caporael’s paintings reveals a certain flair and grace - a play of variations that are not rule-governed. What joins them as a group is the highly distinctive method and style that revives one’s interest in the aesthetics of art.
