gale suver- Artist Statement

My work is rooted in a deep reverence for the natural world, particularly the organic forms and textures found in stone, earth, and flowing landscapes. I'm drawn to the quiet presence of rocks-how they hold time, weight, and memory. In my paintings, I seek to translate this presence into form, using texture, movement, and abstraction to evoke a visceral sense of place.


Working primarily with a palette knife, I build layers of paint that mimic the erosion, compression, and flow found in nature. This method allows me to carve and sculpt the surface, embracing unpredictability and rawness in each stroke. The process becomes a conversation between material and intuition-pushing paint, scraping it back, and letting the forms emerge rather than be imposed.


Texture is central to my practice. I use it not just for visual interest but as a way to invite the viewer into the surface-to make them feel as though they could touch the painting and feel the weight of the landscape behind it. My color palette is often subdued and earthy, anchoring the work in a sense of grounded stillness.


Ultimately, I aim to create more than a depiction-I want each piece to feel inhabited, like a space you could step into. My hope is that viewers experience not just what they see, but a deeper sense of presence, as if they are standing at the edge of something timeless and real.
