Susan Hartnett, b. 1940 in Missouri (US), lives and works in New York (US).
Susan Hartnett’s oeuvre consists of charcoal drawings and large-scale pastels on painted paper. Hartnett finds inspiration in both Eastern and Western traditions, from Asian philosophy to Chinese and Japanese ink painting and calligraphy via modern and contemporary art.
The charcoal drawings of field, marsh and dune grasses reveal what the artist observes directly, capturing with precision the rhythmical movements of the wind and grasses rearranging themselves. Every stroke is carefully considered. The pastel paintings are delicate and detailed observations of field and seaside landscapes. Visual elements such as leaves, branches and waves come together in a sophisticated but balanced composition. Movement in the work is reinforced by the nature of the material used, pastel, dependent on the pressure applied to it. The different species teach the artist new configurations of space and form. The subject of the drawings is not grass, but an unnameable feeling.
‘So each grass drawing has its own look, own character. They are almost written sometimes: start at one edge and end up at the other. No erasures. Like jazz, one has to get it done right on the first go. All the knowledge present and ready to play at showtime – a coherent whole – emotionally complete.’
Susan Hartnett has had solo exhibitions at Kunstmuseum Bochum and Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten (Marl). Her work has featured in group shows at Portland Museum of Art, Lismore Castle Arts (Waterford), Colby College Museum of Art (Waterville), Bowdoin College Museum of Art (Maine), New Jersey Center for Visual Arts, Asheville Art Museum, Farnsworth Museum (Rockland) and Susquehanna Art Museum (Harrisburg).
Susan Hartnett joined the gallery in 2014.
