On exhibit will be six paintings, scenes of Jerusalem and the Negev, painted en plein air, on site in Israel this past summer, July 2013. 

Marx is an Abstract Impressionist.  Her art comes from her radical amazement at the visual world around her, and her need to turn that visual experience into paint.  Israel is a place of great meaning for her.   The emotion of being in Israel comes through on each canvas.  They are a passionate depiction of Jerusalem and the Negev. The canvases are colorful emotional interpretations with paint-filled brushstrokes of a land that she loves.   

Speaking about her work, Marx says:  “I love color.  I see color everywhere.  I am drawn to a specific spot and look and look and look.  I load up my palette, pick up a brush, holding it as a conductor would hold his baton, and begin.  At that point, I don’t speak to the canvas, instead the canvas speaks to me.  I smell the air and the landscape in front of me.  I am transported.  I paint but lose the concept of time.  Fast, faster, passionately painting, furiously painting.  I cannot get the colors down fast enough.   Then suddenly I need air.   I stop and step back to look at my canvas one last time.  The painting is done. 

 

“I try to capture the essence in my painting, the color and the emotion, and leave the rest to the viewer’s imagination, to bring him into the painting.

“Someone once said I work to the muse of Monet, Van Gogh and Joan Mitchell; I was thrilled.  They helped guide me to develop my own personal visual expression and style to share with the world.”

Jain Marunouchi Gallery, 24 West 57th Street, the Agora Gallery, 520 West 25th Street and the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery, 531 West 25th Street in New York City.  She has also exhibited at the Fox Gallery, the Keane Mason Gallery and The Emerging Collector in New York and in New Jersey at the Robin Hutchins Gallery, the Korby Gallery, the Hait Gallery, Nitsa Fine Arts, the Marino Gallery, The Art Gallery of South Orange, The Gaelen Gallery East, The Tenth Muse, and The Right Angle.  She exhibited in Paris at the Musée des Duncan.  In Israel, she showed her work at the Museum of Printing Art in Safed and at the Artist's House in Jerusalem.

 Susan Marx - "Rose Garden" (2012), 30"x 24", acrylic on canvas

Abstract Impressionist Susan Marx's devotion to startling jubilant color is contagious.  She is in love with color and with paint. 

Inspired by the French masters, Monet, Van Gogh and Abstract Expressionist Joan Mitchell,  Marx invigorates her canvases with colorful dynamic brushstrokes.  She approaches painting with the thoughtful spontaneity of an Impressionist.  Pastoral scenes are alive with spirited energy.  Marx's effervescent use of light pierces through her canvasses, stunning us into sensual appreciation of our natural world. 

Ardently devoted to painting en plein air, out of doors, Marx's dedication to nature is lithe with personal emotions.  Sensuous shapes tempered with vigorous color, breathe life into Marx's personal, dynamic compositions.  "Color, the use of warm and cool colors and their combinations are of extreme importance, as are my expressive brushstrokes, my personal handwriting," explains Marx.  "My painting is a result of my radical amazement at the visual world and my need to turn that visual experience into paint.  Nature is my starting point, but not my end result.  I try to capture the essence of a scene.  Its emotions and color.  And leave the rest to the viewer's imagination to bring him itso the painting."

Vivid evocative color splashes throughout the transcendent planes of lush paint that characterize Susan Marx’s work.  Spontaneous brushstrokes produce a playful sense of the organic and immediate.  Her dedication to formalism, combined with her passionate reinterpretation of the world, results in paintings that are as breathtaking as they are compelling.  “My art is a result of my radical amazement at the visual world around me and my need to turn that visual experience into paint.  Nature may be my starting point, but it is not my end result,” she explains.  Her paintings are in conversation with artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, and Joan Mitchell, yet she strikes a unique note, enlightened by her own visual impressions.  Marx  paints outside, en plein air, and  is informed by direct experience of nature, inhaling natural beauty, and exhaling her sensations in a truly impassioned creation of color that epitomizes the current moment.

 

Exhibited widely throughout the United States, Marx’s work can be found in private collections in the United States and abroad.  Susan Marx lives in Orange, New Jersey.  She volunteers at the Montclair Art Museum and the Newark Museum
