Sue Ballengar “BIG IRON” Paintings and Drawings” * Opens April 10 through May 4, 2013 at 21TEN Gallery in Sacramento. Susan paints and draws old rusty engines and farm equipment by getting up close to the machines, creating designs with a shallow depth of field that verge on the abstract. The energy in these works comes from the light dancing across the subject — creating dynamic lights and dark — and is what most intrigues the artist. Sue finds her subjects on farms all around the Sacramento area. Many of her works depicting marine machinery are from along the coast of Maine and Massachusetts. Contact Sue for more information |
