Susan Wick at Denver Art Museum

Eyes On: Susan Wick

"Dedication to creation requires long bouts of solitary contemplation, configuration, and general manual labor. Inevitably, the work also starts demanding external materials and inspiration to keep the unpredictable muse in motion. Wick wrangles with this joyous tension in her Eyes On exhibition of works at the Denver Art Museum, which combines imagery of everyday home objects with glimpses of faraway lands, all curiously abstracted by a menagerie of enticing materials."

- Paloma Jimenez, DARIA

"These vibrant selections have the uninhibited freedom of drawings, although they’re actually paintings made with acrylics and pastels, in combination with other materials. Circling the gallery, they stir feelings not easily resolved by their enigmatic subject matter, with strong colors and textures that describe the artist’s own personal symbology: birds, water and swimming, plants and flowers, tea."

- John Flathman, Westword
