Sometimes using a minimal palette of black, white, and gray, punctuated by the primary color, Susan Grossman’s drawings recall classic film noir. She finds compelling subjects and locations by crisscrossing the city or at the seaside taking numerous photographs.
Once in the studio, Grossman, like William Kentridge, begins to draw and then obsessively shifts her narrative world away from her sources. She re-positions buildings, figures and vehicles while adding and subtracting characters to achieve the final cut. The physicality of her process is crucial to achieve the “just happened” feel of her work. On other occasions Grossman will expand her palette to full chromatic splendor to highlight the play of reflected light of rainy city streets.
