Courage To Be

About

Susan Gale's work explores the nostalgia of community by highlighting the juxtaposition between the peaceful, quiet, mystery of light, and the rush of visually invoked sensation. She explores the sensibility that an image evokes through her manipulation of form and surface texture achieved with textured pointillism. Gale works with distinct color palettes which allow for the exaggeration of each painting's elements of color, framing, and thematic components.

This original 36-inch high by 60-inch wide painting is created with acrylic paint on birch panel. By employing rich hues and playful manual pixelation, Gale seeks to investigate the space between abstraction and representation that allows for a rich direct language of mark-making. The sides of this artwork are painted black and it does not require framing. This artwork is signed by the artist on the back. Free local Los Angeles area delivery.

Susan Gale was born in Stephenville, Newfoundland in 1977. Susan studied painting at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design from 2000 to 2004 and received her BFA. Susan moved to Toronto in 2005. Her practice involves capturing cityscapes or images of everyday places and elevating mundane visual prose into a symphony of color. Gale works the images through a lens of emotion and brings beauty and form back to their most simple compositional elements. Her works have been exhibited and collected throughout Canada and the United States.
