Inner Weather

Winston Wächter Fine Art, New York is pleased to present Inner Weather, a series of new works by Susan Dory. In her sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, Dory continues her long-standing investigation into interconnectivity and perception through a dynamic interplay of color, transparency, and layered form. In Inner Weather, Dory's biomorphic and linear shapes congregate and reorganize in intricate, structured patterns. Each composition emerges from color: this series centers on radiant reds, oranges, and yellows, tones that the artist describes as an act of optimism and hope. Dory has also introduced more translucent pigments into her process, combining acrylic paint with a transparent varnish to produce a luminous, "seeing through" effect that suggests movement and transformation. Working in a studio suffused with natural light, Dory is attuned to the shifts of shadow and reflection that traverse her workspace throughout the day. As sunlight rakes across her canvases—laid flat on sawhorses—shadows distort and reform, leaving traces that she translates into painted form. These ephemeral impressions of light and negative space become an integral part of her compositions, transforming fleeting environmental moments into lasting visual structures.
