Susan Gale's work explores the nostalgia of community by highlighting the peaceful, quiet mystery of light and juxtaposing its nuance against the rush of visually invoked sensation. She evokes the senses by exploring images with manipulation of form, surface, and palette. With this intention, she exaggerates each painting's elements of color, framing, and texture and employs rich hues and playful pointillism. Gale’s work investigates the space between abstraction and representation and allows for a rich direct language of mark-making.
