Autumn is a time for change. As summer draws to a close and we transition to this new season, Susan Street Fine Art will also be making a change. Going forward, our focus will be on providing guidance to clients as art consultants/art advisers/private dealer. The gallery will continue to showcase artists at our current location, 200 North Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach, CA, by appointment only.
We look forward to maintaining and expanding on the relationships that we have developed over the past 29 years. I personally want to thank all of you for your long-standing support and enthusiasm.
With warm regards, Susan Street
Bob Nugent will be the featured artist in the Gallery from October through December:
“My work refers to Brazilian travels, specifically along the Amazon River Basin. Naturalistic forms resembling beehives, vertebrae, cocoons, anthills, plant forms and insects are spread across the surface of the work. My palette is often subdued beneath a layer of darkness, suggesting mystery. The work transcribes a memory of objects and impressions of what was seen and felt. Brazil and the Amazon River Basin have been the subject and inspiration for my work for more than twenty-five years. Visiting the region now two to three times a year I find that the landscape has many moods. The Amazon River is an apt metaphor for the act of churning up remembered objects and sights, gathered while traveling along its rough course. In its flow, the river boils an object to the surface only to swallow it up again to resurface later. These impressions are a memory of the river bound on both sides by a high, dark jungle; foreboding and beautiful. If it takes you in, it takes you in whole.” – Bob Nugent, 2011
