Susanna Heller's Urban Landscapes at Magnan Projects Through February 14
Susanna Heller's exhibition at Magnan Projects, located at 317 Tenth Avenue, runs through February 14. Her work draws from walks along the Greenpoint waterfront and across the Williamsburg Bridge, translating these experiences into visions that blend chaos with delicate structure. Animistic lines in her pieces evoke both organic and manufactured forms, alongside urban detritus and celestial anomalies. A palette of streaky whites, blues, grays, browns, vibrant ochres, rusty oranges, and neon tones captures surfaces that interact with light filtered through airborne pollutants. Renderings of sky swathes convey an ominous foreboding, yet they remain rooted in Heller's actual observations of different times of day in outdoor settings. This presentation was featured as an artcritical CAPSULES in January 2009.
