Gripping. Garish. A technicolor dream. That's how I felt after a recent exhibition by the exciting artist, Susanne Morning. In most of her work, over-the-top color co-exists restively with geometric form. Though color, for the most part, has the upper hand; globes, squares and other reminders of rational form populate the canvas. As Morning herself admits, a Fauvist influence is clearly present. Indeed darkness and negativity are virtually absent. If there's a social statement to be found in her work, it's in the kaleidoscope of color, where each part of the spectrum is given its due. No hierarchies here. Democracy rules. In short, Morning's work deserves our attention. Get ready to be snatched up by the winds of the spirit.

Susanne Morning's work is spontaneous, and free flowing - using shape and dramatic color schemes. Some pieces are warm and inviting; others invite chaos. Her subject matter is a reflection of her encounters with nature and humanity, the real and the imaginary. She encourages the viewer to go beyond the individual limits of interpretation. "Let-them-see-what-they-may-and-might" is the driving force that impels her work.
