Artist's Statement

Susan Hippe BA(Hons) SGFA

"I was born in South Africa and have lived in a variety of countries [USA, Denmark, Germany, France, Great Britain].

Since graduating in 1999, I have been exhibiting and producing work on a regular basis, including one public and numerous private commissions. I have had several solo exhibitions in London and taken part in group exhibitions in New York, Paris, Edinburgh, Spain, London and the UK.

In terms of style I am primarily concerned with movement. In a way, the act of drawing is choreographic; a drawn line is both a graphic entity and a physical movement that is at once spontaneous and precise, it is accomplished in one continuous movement. The pen hits the surface running and leaves it in the same fashion.

I translate my interest in movement on a visual pictorial level. The movement of a body, voice or melody transgresses into sweeping mass of lines capturing the energy and eroticism of the moving figure.

I want to create dynamic images, which energise the viewer, whatever the theme and mood of the picture; I want to reflect my own energy within the physical process of making.

I like to combine a vigorous working process with humour, exuberance and eccentricity.

Born in Johannesburg , I was inspired by the vitality and richness of colour, which surrounded me in South Africa .

I often like to combine drawing with mixed media/collage: I find it interesting to incorporate the use of more unusual media - either as support or collage material - such as cosmetic pads, coffee filters, pencil sharpener residue, plastic, quilt, textile, aluminium foil, balloons, etc., exploring the possibilities of the apparently banal objects of the consumer's world.

Inspiration is everywhere. Popular culture, street life, folklore, travelling, opera, ballet, theatre, daily life experiences and observations. An important aspect is also the notorious humour of the Anglo-Saxon culture."
