East Hampton, New York
Susan Vecsey (b. 1971) draws from the traditions of Color Field and landscape painting to create abstractions from perception. Living and working in East Hampton, NY, Vecsey continues a tradition of abstraction informed by nature that is this region's legacy. While she creates her canvases utilizing pouring techniques from the Color Field tradition, the landscape or the figure is often a starting point, a vehicle to explore form and color. Compositions are simplified to their essence to create a universal image. Vecsey works like a watercolorist, using thinned oil paint, carefully poured in a wet on wet process. No brushes are used in the application, to avoid brush marks, and to better show the beauty of materials. “With poured paint, timing is everything, and it is important to be decisive with it, and also ready to accept or reject the unexpected.”
