About The Artwork
“Euclid alone has looked on beauty bare,” proclaims Edna St. Vincent Millay in one of her sonnets. Not at all “bare,” some of my geometric abstracts are clothed with loosely defined edges, texture and bold color, but most prioritize clarity and simplicity, dressed with linework or pattern and gradations of color. While Josef Albers and Piet Mondrian paid homage to the square and right angles, my shape of choice is the circle, symbolizing perfection, our earth, moon and solar system, even the atoms comprising the universe. Circles—rounded, enclosed, feminine shapes. In creating compelling paintings with a restricted image vocabulary, rounded, enclosed shapes feel protective, nurturing and complete. My expressive abstract paintings offer clarity and a meditatively calm kind of beauty by simplifying and idealizing the shapes that underly our existence. Emotional engagement enters softly.

Susan Kiefer moved from Kansas City, MO to New York City in July of 2021 to advance her painting career, both by opportunity and inspiration. Born and raised in Kansas City, she lived on the west coast for 30 years, earning her BFA and MFA in Printmaking from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. One of her woodcut artist books is in the permanent collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and was shown in many East Coast venues. John Zurier was Kiefer’s painting mentor, encouraging her interest in abstract oils, which she started showing in the California Bay Area. Returning to Kansas City in 2014 to help care for her parents, she was very active in the KC art scene. She loves the stimulating environment in New York and continues her current geometric abstracts, which are in collections throughout the US.
