Susan Sharp is an abstract painter of biomorphic and linear forms, flat planes, vivid color and highly glossy surfaces who works in a wide variety of sizes on wood, mylar and paper. Her paintings have been seen in numerous solo exhibitions in New York and Connecticut and many group exhibitions in private galleries and public institutions nationwide including the Silvermine Art Center, the Housatonic Museum of Art and the Stamford Museum

I am drawn to paint in its liquid state, where forms are in the process of emerging. Applying several layers of paint on smooth surfaces, such as paper, panels or canvas, result in dense and translucent topographies.

The abstract imagery born is both psychological and intuitive. Scale shifts, pattern, and unexpected juxtapositions add to the sense of play and ambiguity.

Subtle references to anthropomorphic forms, which coexist with the linear and geometric elements, navigate disparate worlds.

Sharp’s paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the country. In 2022 Sharp had a solo exhibit at the Beth Urdang Gallery in Wellesley, Mass. Her Assemblage works were also included that year in an exhibit,Real and Imagined at Five Points Gallery in Torrington, CT.
