SUSAN WILDE
The elegant simplicity of Sue’s work is at the core of its wide appeal. She transforms the seemingly mundane- a simple bowl of cherries or pears or ripe tomatoes- into wonderful works of art. She combines the immediacy of drawing with the brilliance of painting, to breathe life into even the most static stills. Fine art training from the Renaissance period left Susan Wilde fascinated with the use of chiaroscuro (strong light contrasted with deep shadow) which is evident in her work today. "Strong light on a simple subject creates the most interesting contrasts – be it a strong spotlight out of the darkness, or when the sun is low in the early morning or late afternoon and the shadows are longer."
The vitality and freshness of Wilde's paintings are rooted in her formal training and background as a graphic designer. During the past twenty years Susan has concentrated on fine art, initially working in oil pastels and now painting in oil.
Sue has successfully applied the ‘less is more’ to her own art with stunning effect. She now lives and paints on the lake in Stoney Creek, Ontario after returning several years ago from many years in the Middle East.
