① Artwork:
Untitled
In this work on paper, the artist uses a bright palette of greens, blues, yellows, and pinks to create a lively interplay of colors. Each grid cell contains one or more symbols, including circles, triangles, stars, or other shapes, drawn with bold black lines. This meticulous patterning lends a sense of rhythm and movement.
Susan Janow creates work across various media, including drawing, ceramics, and video. Her methodical and meditative drawings begin with an open grid she meticulously fills in with graphic lines and bright colors to create patterns and forms with an expressive, linear rhythm.
