Susan Griffith-Jones: BA Hons Painting, 2011
Susan graduated from Bath School of Art and Design in 2011 after working for many years in the Universities of Cambridge and Bath.
Her inspirations are the colours and shapes of landscapes that she knows well, from the Caribbean to the Cairngorms as well as France and especially Italy, where her most recent work has been made.
Her practice is very largely abstract, to do with the push and pull of light and dark, and her main engagement is with colour. She is influenced by many elements in the landscape from lichens to the light and dark in a forest, from a storm over a lake to the patterns on a wall.
She is principally an oil painter, making large paintings on canvas made up of multiple layers of transparent paint producing modulations and subtleties through which one can discern hints of landscape underneath.
The acrylics are much smaller, done in a very free and spontaneous manner on paper using a palette knife or squeegee: they are principally explorations of colour in which the landscape is always present.
