In Suzanne Unrein’s major painting “What Lies Ahead” (2021), we see ecstatic ruminations on life and mortality, desire and temptation. This is evident in the elevated, expressionistic meanderings of fusing bodies that appear and disappear, with flesh unrecognizable as gender specific. Various passages in the muscular imagery merge the cacophony of multi realities, existing simultaneously within her overall fields of exquisitely fluid use of color and line. Utilizing figurative abstraction, her figures guilelessly and chaotically merge into humanoids/animals. Devoid of boundaries, chaos abounds. There is not order in the sensual images, polymorphous, enticing, loaded with vivid color - blues, reds, purples - against a bright white canvas sea. They ooze with a fury and life - tricksters, denying the eventual ramifications of decay. — Elyse Goldberg from “Of Flesh & Bones”
