Radical Amazement: The Paintings of Susan Marx in NYC Art Show
Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature the original work of New Jersey artist Susan Marx in Elixir of Nature.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) May 19, 2016 - The exhibition opens on May 20th, 2016 and runs through June 9th, 2016 with an opening reception on May 26th, from 6 - 8PM. Any art lover who enjoys thought-provoking artworks and meeting talented and interesting artists is encouraged to attend.
Susan Marx's work combines abstraction with the colors of the impressionists. She describes her style as abstract impressionism, a term coined by Elaine de Kooning. Marx calls upon inspirations similar to Joan Mitchell, who once said, "I would more like to paint what [nature] leaves with me." Marx herself has said, "I paint as a result of my radical amazement at the beauty of the visual world."
Marx allows herself to be led by emotional sensations rather than an intellectualized plan. She paints at a passionate, furious pace, rarely waiting for prior layers to dry. Her paintings are an emotional reaction concluding in an explosive collision of color and brushwork. Marx often leaves blank spaces on her canvases, often at the edges so that the painting itself becomes a shape. It is a conscious decision, she says, that "lets the painting breathe." For Marx, process and intent are one and the same. "My paintings are conversations," she says, "between my eyes, my head, my heart, my gut, and the canvas in front of me."
Susan Marx currently lives and works in New Jersey.

About the Exhibition
Magical May Art at Agora Gallery
The artworks of Elixir of Nature express the individual perspectives of artists who have spent time examining and peeling back the layers of what we ordinarily accept as reality to uncover the mysterious and almost magical nature of the world. From abstraction to photorealism, the artists in this exhibition prove their mastery over color and form by elevating their subjects from just visual to immersive, sensational experiences.
