Susannah Phillips' Landscape Paintings Explore Time and Perception at Lori Bookstein Fine Art

From January 5, 2014, to November 15, 2013, Lori Bookstein Fine Art in New York City presented an exhibition by Susannah Phillips, featuring 28 paintings and drawings produced over a span of two years. The artwork delves into four themes: two landscapes, a still life, and a domestic scene. Phillips employs a muted color scheme, showcasing nine horizontal landscape paintings that depict water and mountains at various times of day, skillfully manipulating depth with water encircling land. Landscape 3 captures the essence of morning humidity, while Landscape 11 illustrates a serene dawn. Her technique reflects temporal variations of 30-60 minutes, examining light and form, and resonates with the metaphysical qualities found in the works of Agnes Martin and Giorgio Morandi, balancing between abstraction and representation.
