Join us for the opening reception on Wednesday 9 April from 5:30-8pm.
Curatorial+Co. is thrilled to present a new body of work by Sydney-based oil painter, Susie Dureau.
Says Dureau, “This body of work reflects my growing awareness of the pulse of all things, including the earth itself, as captured in the spectrograms (visual representations of sound) I have been researching and recording since 2020. My landscapes are not just external vistas; they are also self-portraits, mapping the interplay between my own body’s rhythms and the larger forces that shape our multi-species reality.
“Spectrograms have played a crucial role in informing this body of work. By translating recorded pulses and frequencies into images, I have become attuned to an invisible reality that exists beyond human perception. These visual traces reveal the many ways that non-human species communicate. My paintings seek to echo this, offering a kind of visual listening, a space where sound and rhythm become visible. My works invite the viewer to sense the pulse of the earth, feel the unseen currents that connect us to the world, and experience the shared rhythm of body and landscape.”
