Susanna Heller, Taratoma Cloud, 2011, 60 × 40 inches, oil on canvas
Robert Berlind visits the studio of painter Susanna Heller.
Berlind writes: "Perhaps because she draws so much from the experience of walking, Heller constructs her paintings in such a way that the eye travels from foreground into deep space, often following a line that refers to nothing but the movement itself, always with a particular rhythm and energy."
He continues: "While Heller succinctly identifies the physicality of 'feet on the ground/paint on the canvas' with 'movement, energy, and space,' I would further acknowledge her particular painterly ability to evoke the deep forces underlying their connection. Her ongoing subject is the exhilaration induced by what is seen and felt and imagined."
