I first became aware of Susan Dory’s painting at the Aqua Art Fair a few years ago when Winston Wächter had a strong showing of her work there. Since then it has stayed with me in a way that many other painters work does not.
Dory’s work focuses on the repetition of translucent forms, capsulated shapes and bold color. Dory’s technique, slowly reveals itself through time spent actually looking. Dory states: “I am fascinated by the psychology of color and how deeply personal it is. Color is clearly powerful and influential when experienced yet systematically indefinable, immeasurable in the way it is individually perceived”
Susan Dory: Equipoise runs through November 15.
A quick housekeeping note: I’ve been a bit behind lately on the blog – my apologies. I do have reasons all of which will shortly be explained, but please do understand that things are getting back to where they were.
