Wright, Susie

Susie Wright is a London born artist and curator who lives and works in Germany. She is a landscape artist who has the environment at the heart of her practice. Using her signature ‘swalkeling’ method and arrange of self-styled processes, she creates her own personal iconography, drawing on her experience of context and place. Susie works conceptually, exploring the tension between chance and self-determination, nature and culture, freedom and the individual, the passage of time and loss, climate change and the power of the Earth. She brings these threads together into multi-layered collections which include works on paper, painting, digital drawing and installation.

Susie’s paintings are driven by her finds and the objects she encounters on her journeys. They play with vibrant colour and experimental mark-making, allowing the image to find its own presence out of the creative process. They are presented in themed series, each of which have a story to tell. Each collection is unique to a specific place, discovery and thought process. For Untitled 2026, Susie will be exhibiting a specially curated show called ‘Where nature meets culture’ featuring the acrylic on linen paintings from her series ‘In between’.

‘In between’

Picking my way around old alleyways and plots of neglected allotments in the former East Germany, I have felt the echo of voices, the warm earth and smell of ripening apples speaking of communities coming together, children playing and running wild, people trading plants and seeds, sharing coffee and cake in their own personal pavilions. ‘In between’ records the remnants of those lives, those stories and this place as a site of creativity, with what remains to tell the tale.
