"My work is drawing based. My process is one of building up tones and textures using a combination of charcoal, carbon and graphite, all of which yield a wonderful range of blacks and grays that vary in density and transparency as much as in tonality. As a native of Ireland, the landscape there has certainly shaped and influenced my work. Many of my drawings are of places that have a deep personal association for me; an endeavor perhaps to stay connected to my roots. The work is not just about particular places however, but an attempt to find meaning in my response to the natural world, a way of looking beyond and beneath what I see. As the climate continues to change, there is added poignancy in the gloaming, I look for it now more than ever." Born and raised in Ireland, Sue Bryan currently resides in the US. Primarily self-trained, she studied briefly in the School of Visual Arts in New York in the mid-90s. She has exhibited in many galleries and group shows internationally, including the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, the National Arts Club, and the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin. She is the recipient of many awards, including an Award of Distinction at the 5th Drawing Discourse, an international exhibition of drawing held annually at the University of North Carolina, Ashville. She is represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery, New York, Galerie Felli, Paris, France and GBS Fine Art, Wells/London. SELECTED EXHIBITIONS: 2024 London Art Fair, GBS Fine Art, London/Wells, UK2023 Vanishing Point, Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson, New York2023 Summer Group Show, Galerie Felli, Paris France2023 Summer In The Back Gallery, GBS Fine Art, UK2023 London Art Fair, GBS Fine Art2022 Whose Woods These Are, GBS Fine Art, Wells, UK2022 Summer Group Show, Galerie Felli, Paris France2022 ‘Bold Little Beauty’, Carrie Haddad Gallery, New York, April 6 -
