About this artwork
This grid artwork is comprised of 6 squares of 21x21cm each on 320g handmade cotton rag paper. The moody colour palette was chosen in response to the artist’s yearning for loved ones left behind when she was away from home for many months doing an Art Residency in Paris. The theme is picked up in the grid of squares, representative of each individual. Each square will be packed on top of each other with layers of tissue in between and shipped in…
a small box. The collector can also choose to reconfigure the work in their own format depending on their response to each square.

« Susan Greeff’s paintings explore the spaces between memory, emotion and place, where colour, gesture and atmosphere become vessels for quiet reflection »
Susan Greeff is a South African contemporary abstract artist whose work moves between the body, landscape and abstraction. Working intuitively, she builds paintings through layers of colour, gesture and mark making, allowing images to emerge, disappear and change as the work develops.
Her paintings are shaped by lived experience and by a close connection to the natural world, particularly the sea, changing light, warmth and the rhythms of the landscape. Rather than describing a particular place or moment, these influences become something remembered and felt.
Moving between abstraction and traces of the familiar, Greeff’s work holds a tension between spontaneity and restraint. Layered surfaces, translucent colour and expressive marks create spaces that can feel intimate, sensual and ambiguous, leaving room for viewers to find their own associations and memories within them.
