Sue Klemencic ‘s love of drawing is apparent in her latest solo exhibition . Sue, who tutors adult art classes for both Swindon W.E.A and Denman College, explains, “Drawing has always been my main passion ever since art school days when a lot of time was spent drawing from the figure.”
Sue’s hours of study were rewarded when she won the drawing prize in her final year of a Fine Art degree course at Wimbledon Art School. Of her style of drawing, she says “I am attracted to creating strong compositions that display depth, texture and perspective, utilizing buildings together with the landscape. I enjoy working from older buildings of character placed in a modern setting, often interacting with people.”
The pictures in her exhibition feature places Sue has visited on holiday and still-life studies. She explains, “I have always preferred working directly from source, be it landscape or buildings although using photography has allowed me the freedom to experiment more with materials.”
Talking about her latest exhibition Sue says, “Concentrating on details of structure and materials of buildings provides an opportunity to work in a more graphic way - a new direction for a fine artist!”
