„I bring urban experiences and experiences to the big canvas. The often bright color selection describes very different metropolises. I try to make the city tangible in its contrasts, its dynamism and chaos, but also in its transience.“- Susanne Bonowicz (translated from STUDIO TALKS interview)

In her paintings, Berlin-based artist Susanne Bonowicz discusses experiences from different metropolises. Using her own observations and memories, her works convey the theme of urbanity in large-scale compositions of architectonical shapes and lines. Memories, sounds, smells as well as visual impressions become the main subjects. Her works evoke constructed color fields, lines and shapes, a color- and form language that describes both the variety and the contrasts of a vibrant and chaotic cityscape. Thereby, the artist constantly refers to nature and deals with the juxtaposition and the mutual interference of culture and nature; a field of tension, which Susanne Bonowicz is exploring throughout all of her works.
