| Invited guests and collectors enjoy Susan's radiant fruits |
In mid-November, Susan Evans graciously hosted an exclusive, invitational event at Matrix Fine Art for her fans, collectors and friends. The evening was the perfect blend of sophistication, beautiful artwork and sparkling lights (and champagne!), all of which are well-suited to Susan's lush chiaroscuro painting technique.

Susan's paintings generated a great deal of discussion, as the perfect combination of gallery lighting and the New Mexico night illuminated the Matrix and accentuated her mastery of transparent layers.
Susan's work and personality always draw a crowd.
Matrix Fine Art is pleased to have Susan Evans as one of our artists and we always look forward to seeing her new work. We encourage you to drop by and see her work in person during our open hours.
Susan says of her work:
"My dedication to the technique of chiaroscuro follows the spirit of the Great Enlightenment of the Northern Baroque Period of the 17th century. I use this method to exalt reality and I make use of human visual archetypes in my choice of subject material. I seek to impart a sublime presence to simple objects; also the use of negative space contributes to the peaceful and contemplative quality of my work.
The classic techniques and underlying forces are employed:
– Directional shapes in the abstract design
– A single dominant light source to move the eye
– Intensity of light and value in the focal area I seek to evoke an emotional response from my viewer with the dramatic single image pieces. Both exciting and meditative, these large pieces are an unflinching look at one particular form."
