New Work: Palettes of Ichor
​
This series is a homage to select classical paintings, literature, poetry and Greek mythology.  Inspired by the effort of the Old Masters to interpret biblical and mythological events and participants, Kenneth Susynski seeks contemporary translations that derive from his first-impulse reactions to these works and stories.  Central to these works are spotlights on the figure, on subtle and blunt expression, and tight compositions that fasten to a specific narrative, thus allowing the independence of the brush and vitality of color to light the path.  At conclusion, each of these paintings has both a bond to historical context as well as to a new tale that is receptive to personal response.
