SUSANNA BLUHM | Country Painting with Ghosts

J. Rinehart Gallery is thrilled to announce our second solo exhibition from painter, Susanna Bluhm. Bluhm’s exhibition, Country Painting with Ghosts, continues to explore experiences the artist had in “red” states in the U.S. Bluhm’s semi abstract landscape paintings provide opportunities to have emotions, other than anger and fear, as an American.

Country Painting with Ghosts experiments with creating new environments. An individual painting can become a new place in and of itself. Sensations of things that might happen within a landscape, such as weather, touch, temperature, sex, or noise. Semi-abstract “characters” show up in the paintings and suggest meanings with their repetition and associations with each other.
