Piece description from the artist
'Plantation' features brightly painted landscapes filled with imaginary creatures frolicking in a whimsical Rousseau-like jungle. Creatures hidden in the landscape love to eavesdrop. The childlike properties of the painting belies the complex design, patterns and color schemes that are indicative of Medyn's highly sophisticated style.
Susan Medyn is an eco-artist whose practice bridges environmental art and interspecies collaboration. Using natural materials such as linen, rattan, seed heads, and beeswax from her own hives, she creates sculptural works in partnership with honeybees. Her art encourages reflection on our relationship to the environment and the fragile interdependence of all living systems. She has a long history of painting whimsical watercolors and nautical maps but turned to environmental art as a way to bring awareness to our fragile environment. She at times has up to 1,000,000 tiny studio assistants helping her with her sculptures.
Susan has exhibited locally, nationally, as well as internationally in Monaco, Poland, Belgium, Paris and the Loire Valley, France as well as in the USA . She participates in the annual South Coast Artists Open Studio Tours annually.
