Susan Edwards – Contemporary Fine Art Painter
Susan is a contemporary colourist painter working in oils on linen canvas, and her paintings are immediately recognisable for multi layers of different kinds of vigorous mark making, using brushes, palette knives and textures, with contrasting impasto and translucent paint techniques working together.
She interprets the subject intuitively, translating form through her inherent colour language and letting the painting direct the next step as it progresses.
The seascapes and landscapes are usually begun on the spot, at favourite locations include the Cornish Coast, the Malvern Hills, Yorkshire Dales, and Snowdonia. Similarly, still life subjects and figure studies are generally begun from life.
Recent more semi abstract work is evolving in the studio from paintings done en plein air, and from photographs.
Susan was traditionally trained at Leeds College of Art and, over the last decade, Anthony Eyton RA has been advising her both on her MA and developing new work.
Susan has exhibited works with the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The New English Art Club, The New Bath Art Club, Friends of The Royal West of England Academy in Bristol and Women in Art at The Mall Galleries London in recent years and her paintings and portraits have been included in International private collections.
This exhibition is part of the Worcestershire Open Studios Art Week. For more information about Susan’s exhibition please click here.
