Sue Beyer: Betwixt and Between
In an age of GPS navigation and Siri-dependency, there's one bold artist making good on her cartography skills.
Overview
In an age of GPS navigation and Siri-dependency, the idea of using of a hand-held, pull-out map seems a little dated. But one Brisbane artist, Sue Beyer, is exercising her cartography skills liberally to construct meaningful, allegorical masterpieces that combine her painting skills with the rigid, boundary-heavy outlines of maps.
Her latest exhibition, Betwixt and Between, is driven by Beyer’s unique set of interests in painting, roller-skating and motor biking, and the role location can have on each. Her pieces show the concept of place as a continually fluid and shifting set of experiences — her work incorporates traditional lines and shapes that give maps their structure but combine it with puddles and patches of colour. This combination makes for bold and dynamic abstract forms, with information and illusion coming together to on the canvas.
