Minot State University Art Seminar: Susana Amundaraín

October 8, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

Internationally renowned artist and painter Susana Amundaraín will be presenting in the Art Seminar series at Minot State University’s Aleshire Theater at 12:00 pm on October 8.

Susana Amundaraín is a Venezuelan-born American artist. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Denver in Colorado, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Metropolitan State University, Co. Earlier in her career, Amundaraín studied and explored the relationships between visual poetry and text, which took her to the theatrical spaces of performance art, then scenic design, and later to write librettos for chamber operas with her husband, composer Efraín Amaya.

Amundaraín’s works lie somewhere between abstraction and representation. She generally builds her paintings through a multiple layering of color transparencies and eroded surfaces, in a balance between structure and atmospheric space. Amundaraín is “constantly attracted to the possibilities of imagined spaces that allow contemplation as an active form of meditation, which in turn allows us a path to our unknown selves.”

Amundaraín is represented in museums and galleries in South America and the United States. Her work is held in several private and corporate collections and has been reviewed by journals like Art News, El Paper Literario de El Nacional (Caracas), and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette among many others.
