Artist Statement:
Getting Lost In Your
Interpretations… Polytychs by
Suzy Andron
I have been painting for as
long as I can remember. As a
young child, my mother brought
crayons and paper to keep me
quiet during church services.
My entire life has been
influenced by art. There is
nothing more pleasing to me
than painting. When I am
working on a piece, I feel
exhilarated. Expectant.
Scared. Occasionally, I even
wonder, “What am I going to do
with this mess?”
I am “anti-style” as I paint,
but there is continuity in my
work. In 2000, I started
painting triptychs. Soon, I
expanded to more than three
combined pieces, and they
became polytychs. The
canvases wanted to rotate, so
I applied geometry to the mix.
My polytychs continued to
evolve, now into new
dimensions. I turned a few
canvases backward while still
connecting them with the
others. I experimented with
triangular canvases. I
introduced different textures,
and worked with how they
interact. Right now, I’m
developing pieces that are
composed of several layers of
canvases and new base
materials. The only pattern
to my work is the most natural
of all: I keep changing,
growing and creating new works

| Your Personal Biography |
Suzy earned her bachelor's degree in Fine Art and Art Education at The Pratt Institute in New York in 1968. She had already begun teaching as a student and continued to teach in Connecticut until marrying Bob Andron, an architect, who brought her to Raleigh in the early 70's.
In 1980 Suzy went to NCSU and earned a Masters Degree in Landscape Architecture. Suzy taught interior design at UNC-Greensboro and later at Meredith College, all the while developing her unique style of painting. She now teaches Color and Design fundamentals in the Art Department at Meredith.
Suzy has painted in several studios - wherever she could be allowed to make a mess. The Androns built a home studio in 1997 that enabled her to produce more concentrated work and in greater volume.
In the 90s, Suzy began participating in numerous competitions and auctions around North Carolina and neighboring states, receiving many honors for her work. She has re-invented her work by expanding into Polytychs since 2001.
Suzy's polytychs have now started to be recognized. They have ranged from 2 or 3 connected panels (of highly textured abstract acrylic compositions) to as many as 11 panels in a commissioned giant wall mural. Suzy continues to explore the visual splash that gushes from manipulating the geometry of attached canvases and the synergy of multiple parts embellishing the fullness of an expression. |
