Susan Chrysler White lives and works in Iowa City, Iowa. White’s paintings are constructed by accumulating layers of acrylic and enamel paint on transparent glassine paper. She cuts and tears these laminations of glassine and collages them onto canvas creating invented worlds representing interior experiences. Her paintings reference the anatomical, botanical, and spiritual while also drawing from her fascination with collections and patterns. White received the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award in Painting and Sculpture and the National Endowment for the Arts. White’s work is collected by various national institutions including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Worcester Art Museum.
Dinner with an Artist is a new series hosted by Cura Contemporary and Véra Restaurant. Join us for a sit down family style dinner with one of our gallery artists for an unforgettable meal. Learn more about our artists and the arts, share in meaningful conversations, and connect with new people.
