Suzanne Chamlin: Studies in Color
Fairfield University Art Museum is pleased to present Suzanne Chamlin: Studies in Color, a solo exhibition of Chamlin’s recent paintings on view from April 5 through July 27, 2024, in the Museum’s Bellarmine Hall Galleries.
This selection of recent works by the artist explores ideas about color theory and light through a series of landscape painting and interior still lifes. For each of the paintings in the exhibition, Chamlin set a highly specific palette; experimentation within this limited range then guided her decisions about process and pictorial space.
A wonderful selection of programming has been created to complement the exhibition, including a virtual talk on color theory, a gallery talk with the artist, a family day event focused on color, and a drawing party which will focus on still lifes. All of the programs are free and open to the public.
A complementary exhibition of fourteen photographs is on view in the rear Bellarmine Hall Galleries during the run the Chamlin exhibition. Entitled The Landscape in Focus: Recent Acquisitions of Photography this exhibition includes works by Adger Cowans, Catherine Opie, Victoria Sambunaris, James Welling, and Huang Yan among others.

Suzanne’s process centers on experimentation. Observing the landscape and painting the changing light inspires her imagination and her sense of invention. Seeing and observing color in the landscape and translating it in her paintings is fundamental to her process.
