From my Brooklyn garden to the canvas 🌱✨
The Seeds series reflects growth, fragility, and transformation—drawing on natural structures and the generative power of the garden as both subject and studio. Each painting traces organic forms toward abstraction, exploring cycles of renewal in paint, line, and color.---Swipe to see four works from the series alongside the garden that inspires them.

This is a repost of a 2019 painting “Root Network,” acrylic on canvas, 48 x 40 inches. This was one of those rare occurrences where I am successful in achieving the spontaneity that I always seek. An “easy” panting that came within hours.

From my "spraychain" series, this ink on Yupo work utilizes a unique technique of blowing bursts of air into pools of wet ink repeatedly to create a chain effect in this work which blends green and sepia.

This work on paper is 20 x 15.5 inches. I have been using forced air to create bursts of ink. There is a level of control when deciding where to place each consecutive mark and a level of randomness since the final shape made with air is a bit unpredictable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Posted • ✨✨✨Highlights from the Reception. Group exhibition “Ethereal Communication” curated by Shazzi Thomas and Chase Cantwell in the Main Gallery and solo exhibition Suzan Shutan: “A Conversation” in the Project Room curated by Shazzi Thomas and Chase Cantwell. Exhibitions on view from November 29 - December 22, 2022. All works are available for sale on Artsy .

From the press release: “Ethereal Communication” explores the subtle and varied ways in which meaning is conveyed. From spoken language to text messages to music to eye contact, ideas and feelings are transmitted. This curated exhibition seeks to look at the ways communication can take on an otherworldly quality–an airiness that feels lighter than this world. This exhibition highlights the work of these artists who seek in their own way to communicate, through their artworks, the delicate nature of connection. Artists in “Ethereal Communication” include Ann Marie Auricchio, Nicholas Battis, Rebecca LS Buchanan, Sarah Canfield, Robin Colodzin, Barbara Kemp Cowlin, Nancy Daubenspeck, Ginnie Gardiner, Lisa Hess Hesselgrave, Diane Novetsky, Jean Rim, Joan Ryan and Andra Samelson.

From the press release: “Suzan Shutan’s exhibition “A Conversation” explores communication through the exchange of images rather than words. It engages the idea that a visual and personal narrative takes place between and within the artworks themselves. Like pieces of a puzzle the artworks when joined, read together to tell a story - yet each single piece of the puzzle stands on its own while embodying a part of the whole.”

Here is a side view of my work on paper titled "Spray Chain Blue" with some details too. This 26 x 20 inch is achieved by using bursts of air to expand small circles of thin paint to make a chain. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​
