Paul Stolper is pleased to present @susie9hamilton at @britishartfair as part of SOLO CONTEMPORARY. Susie Hamilton will be present on our stand at British Art Fair as part of SOLO CONTEMPORARY on Sunday 2 October, 11-5pm. "My figures are vulnerable to nature and time and also to the materials of pencil, charcoal, pastel, water and paint. I like to paint people in challenging environments and then subject them to an ‘iconoclastic’ method of working which makes and unmakes them. I draw over bodies, obscure them with smears and blurs, dissolve them into fluidity or turn them into semi-abstract forms in order to pull the known towards the unknown. Despite the glamour of the warriors, the horror of conflict is an obvious element of my work and is represented visually by mess and blots and smoky layers and rolls of colour which undo form and cohesion. The vitality of the horseman is also counteracted by an appearance of erosion, with areas of the paintings defaced or wiped away as if mutilated by time. The movement of combat is therefore halted and stilled." Susie Hamilton 2022 #susiehamilton #britishartfair #paulstolpergallery
