Artist Statement for Susan Barnes
|
|
|
Since childhood, art has been a large and defining part of the person I have become and strongly influences the way in which I view the world around me. Having an artist grandmother, with a home studio, made it seem so natural a part of daily life. Hopefully this love of art will continue to be passed down through future generations.
Painting is my passion. Moving paint around is what it's all about, placing one piece of color against another to create atmosphere and mood. That is the mystery and illusion of painting.
Although I am a representational artist, my intent is not in copying a subject in a photorealistic way but rather to create something that is sensed on another level in addition to the visual surface.
My current focus is both still life and coastal scenes. I enjoy painting en plein air and what attracts me are scenes infused with mood and atmosphere of which there is no shortage along the coastal areas. Having spent summers for most of my life along the New Jersey shore, both sailing and at the beach, has given me an endless supply of inspirational subject matter.
Many people have told me that my paintings have a calming quality, a moment of pause in an otherwise hectic life. This, to me, is the purpose of art.
