Sue Munson is a Surrey-based English artist.
Biography
[edit]Born in England Munson has travelled extensively and uses travel and observation as a means to supplement her knowledge of art. She has studied in North America, and during the nineties travelled to India to study textiles. It was during this time Munson made the switch from working on fabric to working on other supports to express her ideas. Her work has been largely experimental taking inspiration from the great mark makers of the 20th century.[1]
Style and Mediums
[edit]Munson’s work focuses on the dichotomy of human nature. The abstract represents the fun, free almost noisy side of the brain, while the minimal represents a more contemplative approach. Within these two genres a dialogue takes place, interpretation of which is left to the viewer.
Although conveying simplicity, Munson’s paintings are built in layers, using acrylics, sprays and pens but making very little use of brushes. Paintings are worked on canvas, archival board or paper. Munson’s latest work pays tribute to Family Domesticity, and Friendship, and the art of keeping it simple.[2] Munson is an advocate of continuous learning, and offers inspiration through her workshops and study days.
