Susan Swartz’s exhibition is enjoying an extended stay at Georges Bergès Gallery in SoHo. Visitors will be able to view the vibrant, intriguing works now on display until November 20. Both a nature and abstract painter, in the same compositions, Swartz’s work is provoking discussion worthy of a major talent, which she is.

In two new stunning series of paintings, internationally acclaimed artist Susan Swartz brings the healing power of nature indoors. Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.” Throughout a lauded decades-long career,Utah-based artist Susan Swartz has been a diligent student of nature.

Susan Swartz is feeling blessed, and Georges Bergés is one immediate reason why. When Swartz’s 57th Street art dealer announced the closure of his gallery, the painter was unsure what her next step would be. Meanwhile, Bergés—the Soho gallerist who is widely viewed as a leader among the next generation of top art dealers—went to work. He wanted an introduction to Swartz.

Susan’s work and philosophy of life have always been forward-thinking, and her accomplishments abound. Designer Virgil Abloh said, “Art is made in hindsight,” but Susan Swartz is ever-composing in her mind, creating for what’s next—and in this case, what’s coming up are two primary career goals she has long harbored and dared dream possible.

Susan Swartz paints for joy. After battling two chronic environmentally-linked illnesses, Susan is often asked why she doesn’t create work around themes of nature’s fragility or its demise. She leans toward the light rather than the darkness. She finds the beauty in life and passes it along in her work.

“A great teacher can change everything. One such teacher at Baldwin High School did exactly that for Susan Swartz by recognizing and encouraging her artistic talent early on. Upon graduation, he strongly encouraged her parents to send her to study art at his alma mater, what was then Edinboro State College. Following that advice helped to put Swartz on a trajectory that has taken her from Baldwin to Budapest to Beijing, where she has showcased her art to a worldwide audience.”
