Paintings


Susan Isaac is a Cardiff-born artist, now based in Nottinghamshire. Originally training in fine art she chose to develop her interest in the history of art and design and worked for several years as an illustrator of the archaeology of industry before returning in the late 1990s to concentrate on painting and sculpture. Her contemporary fine art work endeavours to capture the spirit of things or places she has known, seeking to illuminate aspects of the world that have captured her imagination - to evoke feeling.

WORKING LANDSCAPES

In these paintings Susan has examined how landscape has been infiltrated by the industrial activities of past generations. Whether disused, modified or continuing in original purpose, the time-softened forms of industrial structures are haunting monuments to a previous existence, often incidentally enhancing and providing new focus to the landscape.



HUMAN LANDSCAPES

Landscape holds a central place in Susan Isaac's art and she is fascinated with the way landscape is animated by the life contained within it. In this exhibition of Susan's ceramic sculptures, people take on landscape forms, so that her dream-like heads and figures, many in repose, emulate landscapes through their undulating contours.

Susan's 'Human Landscapes' series of paintings are now on exhibition at the Bull Yard Gallery, Southwell. These works focus on the relationship between people and their surroundings. Fleeting outlines of human forms present in many of the paintings are ghostly figures that move through tonally coloured and richly textured landscapes.

The Bull Yard Gallery sits at the heart of the small, historic market town of Southwell, with its unique 'Southwell Minster' cathedral and associated Prebendal houses. The Gallery is reached through small alleyways off King Street and Queen Street, close to the Saracen's Head hotel.
