Expressions of Memory features work by painters Su Knoll Horty and Deborah
Zuchman, whose paintings draw direct inspiration from the natural world’s
colorful influence. Su’s undulating paintings play with soft gradients and harsh
boarders to create a uniform flow across her canvases. She catches inspiration
at random and runs the color to the canvas. Deborah’s paintings come from
her deep and constant observations in nature. Her surreal and exaggerated
colorations come directly from the landscapes she portrays, painting first
from direct observation and then again from emotional imprint the landscape
leaves on her. She imagines “the conversations between the trees” and uses
color to write their songs. Both artists let inspiration wash over them, and use
recollection just as much as their paint pigment to share the experience with the
viewer.
