SUSAN SCHWALB

My galaxy series evokes the inconceivable spaces of the expanding cosmos, punctuated by shapes that may bear a distant resemblance to nebulae or comets but are intended more as symbols of the swirling energy of matter. A glimmering golden light suffuses these paintings ‑ a light that is actually far more continuous than anything we can see in the night sky.

In the paintings entitled, "Continuous Creation”and "Aura", a more painterly modulated surface adds reflected light to an image which emanates from a central core.
