Ldquo;In Susan Schwalb’s recent drawings, the natural form of an orchid is transformed into a personal vision. By isolating and enlarging the flower to fill the entire space, she evokes lived experiences or sensual fantasies. Because of the scale of the drawings, generally 40in. x 30in., the spectator is engulfed by the curving petals of the orchid and encouraged to “enter” the flower. The image slowly emerges from the depths of the paper and gradually unfolds. Mdash; Joan Marter, Susan Schwalb, Womanart,.

Susan Schwalb, Artist: Statement
http://www.susanschwalb.com/pages/state.html
I use the classical Renaissance technique of silverpoint and metalpoint in a way which challenges the traditional concepts. My work is abstract and my handling of the medium has become increasingly bold. The works on paper juxtapose a wide variety of metals (silver, gold, brass, copper, platinum, pewter, bronze, and aluminum) to obtain soft shifts in tone and color reminiscent of the transparency of watercolor. A shimmering luminosity creates what often appears to be a 3-dimensional undulating surface.
