Susan Wick: Through an Open Frame
Wick’s fluid vocabulary of forms allow for a dynamic interplay of allegory and abstraction, with the ability to slide along the spectrum of becoming between the immaterial and recognizable forms.
The symbols Wick employs in her oeuvre are a rich blend of the mundane and the extraordinary, with recurring motifs such as travel, domesticity, and nature, as well as mortality and loss. Among objects such as diving boards, philosophers stones, floral still lifes, potted trees, mountains, and various means of transport, figures populate unrealities as either humans or birds. Wick’s fluid vocabulary of forms allow for a dynamic interplay of allegory and abstraction, with the ability to slide along the spectrum of becoming between the immaterial and recognizable forms.
Through an Open Frame is a celebration of Susan Wick’s enduring legacy. Her profound output and life as a pioneering artist exemplifies that art is not the purview of only an innately gifted class of genius, but as a process available to anyone able to and commit to the practice of tuning to their own idiosyncratic inclinations. We invite you to experience the depth and breadth of her work at David B. Smith Gallery, where every frame is an invitation to explore boundless possibilities.
