Artist Talk: Marks and Flow: New Paintings | Susan Freypons

Artist talk for Marks and Flow: New Paintings | Susan Freypons at Propeller Art Gallery.

I embrace the natural ambiguity of abstraction. I work with oil paint on board or canvas without preconceived ideas. The works are an ongoing process of exploration. Each painting begins with improvised layers of colour and mark-making. There is a sense of play as compositions arise out of a process of repeated strategic destruction and salvaging. I scrape away paint, overpainting and revising until the painting lets me know it is complete.
