NEW EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS
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.
Susan’s art, for me, is a consolation in difficult times and an added joy in happy times.
