Artist Exhibitions:
Susan Bell's current
exhibitions are interpretive
works dealing with every day
life. The struggle to
answer existential questions
such as identity, being alone

Artist Statement for Susan Bell
|
|
|
It has been my wish to travel and paint the many people and cultures of the world. Raised on a farm in New York until the age of 11, I have seen many aspects of nature. I started out painting landscapes and still life. But my true passion, has been my fascination with people and the human face. I am struck by the innocence and candor of children. My willing subjects have been my grandchildren, much to their delight. There is something about seeing and recognizing your face in a painting.
I am drawn to both realistic and abstract expression. It has been a goal in my work to incorporate the two. The many models I have painted have provided inspiration to look for the unique qualities that each of us possesses. It has been recent that I have taken interest in exploring the mystery in the face. Using a building of layers to lend depth and drama has been an exciting process.
Committed to learning, my work reflects the wonder I experience daily. My hope is that my work reflects a deeper than skin look into the spirit of the people I do in portraiture.
