Acclaimed artist Susan Olmetti will return to New York in the summer of 2009 for the unveiling of the Jonah series. Olmetti’s newest series of oil paintings are intertwined in a fluid movement and frantic energy.

Olmetti commonly refers to tackling a new creation as: “Setting out to kill the canvas”.
Her passion becomes interwoven with twists and turns of color communicated from the depths of her minds emotional darkness. The strength of her strokes gives life to her works with a mood akin madness. A menagerie of comically exaggerated characters take on a whimsical and humorous light. The obscurity of the figures reflect the bridling of spirit and entrapment of soul from those who want to be set free of that which binds them.
