Susan Brenner is a Charlotte-based artist who uses a variety of media to make statements about our world today, as well as the human condition. She combines photography and painting to create a series of work dealing with concepts such as fluidity, migration, movement, and societal change. Brenner explores rich textures, abstract forms, and the evolution of movement in her paintings and prints; she is constantly exploring and experimenting, but sometimes revisiting earlier phases, or even coming full circle. Brenner is facile with rendering and expressing an aliveness in her art, as she finds ways to explore the mysteries of the world while fearlessly plunging into unknown territory and experimenting with ways in which to compose and express individuality.

Featuring works across multiple series, this exhibition celebrates and explores the through line of Brenner’s artistic practice and the conceptual, material, and technical connections between bodies of work. Through a variety of ideations and modes of making, Brenner has cultivated a rich studio practice, marrying digital with analog, photography with painting, research with application, world-observing with world-building.
