SUSANNE SIMONSON
Sep 9 - Oct 3, 2010
FRED is delighted to announce Susanne Simonson’s first solo exhibition in the UK. Born in Sweden in 1969, she has shown regularly in Europe and the United States, but never here. The paintings are of traditional subjects, of portraits and still-lives, and the references are of traditional genres, traditional motifs, and techniques. Her confident compositions grow from preparatory drawings, and underlying drawings. She uses a palette limited to browns turning to violets, ochres, rose red and petrol green.
