Description

Painting by Susan Mastrangelo, Shining Lights (knitting, recycled fabric, upholstery cord, acrylic paint on wood panel, 60" x 48", 2020). The image illustrates a key later body of work by Susan Mastrangelo in the 2020s, when she began producing abstract mixed-media paintings that emphasize immediacy, organic abstract form, and diverse materials. Works such as this one demonstrate her juxtaposition of "drawing" (varied lines created by working with upholstery cording) with painted forms, collaged patterned fabrics and meshes, through which she developed a dense pictorial vocabulary with trompe l'oeil, shadowing, depth and textural effects. This body of work and individual piece were publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions and discussed by critics in major art journals and daily press publications.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key later body of work by Susan Mastrangelo in the 2020s: her abstract, mixed-media paintings which immediacy, organic abstract form, and diverse materials including knitting, upholstery cord, recycled patterned fabrics and paint. These paintings have been described as vivid, visceral rectangular works drawing inspiration from modernist movements such as Synthetic Cubism, in which non-traditional materials such as yarn, upholstery cord and fabric took the leading role over paint. She created them working intuitively, by "drawing" on wood panels with upholstery cording and using the energy of robust, sinuous lines to dictate the rhythms and biomorphic shapes and voids of the compositions. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key, foundational body of work, which brought Mastrangelo initial recognition through exhibitions and coverage by major critics and publications. Mastrangelo's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
