28: SUZANNE PIPKIN (B. 1938) LAYERED ACRYLIC ON CANVAS

Suzanne Pipkin (Kansas, Born 1938)
(1978)
The smaller format work by this Kansas City area artist is signed and dated lower left and verso on the canvas.

In the late 1970s and early '80s, more than a decade before earning her bachelor's degree at the Kansas City Art Institute, Suzanne Pipkin laid to canvas a series of complex works inspired by the energy, color and motion she experienced in her mind's eye when viewing certain objects. Of translating these sensations to canvas she said, ''When I would start one of my layered acrylic paintings, I had no preconceived idea of the end result. I was in the process of experimentation from the very beginning. It began with a single color, which led me to another - and I was in the zone. As I worked, I was constantly looking to see that the colors were connecting and giving energy to each other, and the overall piece. It was so exciting to see it evolve.'
