The Millinery Works Gallery WATER NEW PAINTINGS 2010 Susan Rosenberg |
|
Susan
Rosenberg’s flower paintings (shown in her previous exhibition, Altitude)
blend energy and bravura with structure and balance. Spontaneity and
impulse persist in her deeply considered designs. Colour and line toss,
play and respond as in a dance. Now,
in her water paintings, she has moved from quasi-abstraction to a greater
naturalism, an unusual trajectory. The theme of water is a difficult and
bold one to pursue, both technically and because of the weight of
tradition, but it has called forth Susan’s creativity brilliantly. As
always, her art gives delight in the complementarity she achieves between
strong lineaments of design and a lyrical interplay of colours. In the
water paintings she has introduced a more highly nuanced application of
paint. There is narrative drama in these pictures but also a stylised,
even ritualised, quality arising from her use of gold.
