Susan Paulsen "New Color"
This event has ended.
At Deborah Bell Photographs
Media: Photography
Although Paulsen is known for her small black-and-white gelatin silver photographs, her second solo exhibition in NYC introduces larger images in stunning color made during the past year. In Paulsen’s new color work she continues to present informal views of her daily life with family, friends, pets, and the landscape they inhabit. Paulsen has said she wishes to convey “a sense of home...by depicting the characters and events that make up a family” and “to capture on film the simple things and events which shape our lives.” The rich and vivid color of her new archival pigment prints call to mind classical painting. Details of household items, a sitter’s lustrous hair, folds of drapery and calming still-life compositions, bathed in subtle yet luminous natural light, are reminiscent of Vermeer and the Renaissance masters in their qualities of light, tone and subject matter.
