Bravery and bathos

“Intrepid” (oil on masonite), by Lyndeborough, N.H.-based artist Susan Q. Brown, at the Conant Gallery at Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass.

Her Web site says:

Her Web site says her figurative and abstract work … evokes the natural landscape and human forms to explore separation and interconnectedness using color, grids, and unexpected imagery that viscerally stimulates the viewer to perceive/experience something new to them.  While Susan works from her impressions of the natural world, she also draws upon pillars of art history, such as ancient works by Buddhist and Indian artists in the East and Western contemporary masters like Agnes Martin and Hilma af Klint.’’
