Artist Statement:
Please sign the
guestbook...Your comments are
welcome.
Susan Wellington is a painter
who explores colour and energy
patterns within forms,
reducing and simplifying the
figurative elements in her
landscapes to reveal their
wholistic essence. While the
genre of landscape lives with
the constant threat of
irrelevancy, because of global
environmental degradation and
destruction it has been
reinvigorated as a genre but
in many different forms of
expression. Her formal
approach is influenced by
Australian, European and Asian
landscape and modernist
painting traditions.
Wellington's paintings are
vibrant, with a contained
intensity and have a
characteristically brilliant
and modulated colouration and
rough and ready brushwork.
Underpinning them is a
spiritual practice which
enlarges and enriches the
parameters of her art.
