Suzanne Cannon, Artist - Dramatic and Evocative Contemporary Landscapes of the Derbyshire Peak District
Language of Water
For details of current exhibitions, please see Suzanne Cannon's web site.
The word meteoric probably doesn't do justice to the rise to fame of professional artist Suzanne Cannon. Not too many years ago Suzanne was relatively unknown outside the Peak District, where she had a small, but growing, band of appreciators. Now her work is much sought after, both at home and abroad, and is the subject of private collections as far afield as South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Australia and the USA. International interest has been enhanced with the recent opening of her Central European studio in Zurich which is in addition to the permanent representation that Suzanne has had for several years at select galleries within the UK.
Working exclusively in oils, Suzanne's reputation has been built upon her refreshingly original contemporary landscape art. Water is influencing my life more and more. I choose to live by water, to walk by water and to be on the water. I love to observe the water. I love its movements, the patterns, its energy. And most of all I love its complex simplicity. After a lifetime of finding ways to save time, I now find ways to spend time, to take time, to treasure time and to savour the moment, which I hope you find is reflected in my original oil paintings.
Corporate Art
Suzanne has also developed a successful Corporate Art business, providing artwork for nationally recognised companies, more and more of whom are appreciating the value that original art brings to their business. As well as creating the commissioned artwork that reflects both the image and ethos of an organization, Suzanne coordinates and manages the disparate activities that are required to bring the project together.
She continues to be the subject of solo exhibitions and has been invited to exhibit at the Society of Women Artists (SWA) international exhibition and, more recently, at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA).
Seemingly not content with the success of her wall art, Suzanne has launched her first contemporary ceramic collection at a gallery in Derbyshire where she is delighted to be exhibiting her premier collection. Despite the different medium, there is a distinct similarity of style. Suzanne takes the classic human form, reflects upon its beauty and elegance, then has the courage to set it free in a celebration of the joy of simply being. Each piece is created solely, and lovingly, by hand, so each piece is unique. She uses both stoneware and paper clay to create her torsos. The paper clay, used for the finer finished torsos, incorporates finely chopped fibres of the ancient flax plant. Each piece is twice fired and finished with a multi layered glaze that make them as pleasing to the touch as they are to the eye.
