Girl and a Kite Painting

The paintings of Susana Regina Rapallo reflect the multiplicities of the modern world. Susana Rapallo is able to pick out cultural harbingers from all corners of contemporary life for depiction. She has painted popular fashions, characteristic meals, art historical references, signs and symbols referring to current events and real places – anything that calls up a specific time and atmosphere. Her last series, Rotten Apples, portrays the fruit at different stages of ripeness and decay and manages to give an oblique nod to everything from New York City to Cézanne.
