​ABSENCE : PRESENCE

Sue Chipchase​

 

Sue Chipchase is an artist who works with abstract and semi-figurative themes using oils, acrylics and mixed media. She creates structure, then explores within the long process of excavation and re-working, a visual world of allusion to something seen or felt.

 

It is an intuitive process that permits the work to hover in some area where it cannot quite be located, inviting the viewer to engage with the visual and the physical.

 

The paintings for Absence : Presence were created over a 12mth period following a visit to the ancient site of Pompeii, May 2012
