Near and Far - Abstract

Near and Far is an original mixed media on paper, measuring 10.5x8 inches. The piece is presented unframed, directly off the easel, ready to be framed to your personal taste.

From Bill Suttles’ Abstract Collection, this work reflects his six decades of painting professionally across the Southeast. Bill graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 1950 and credits the Art Institute’s Impressionist Collection, Wolf Kahn, Irwin Greenberg, and Coralie Tweed as key influences.

Suttles is recognized for his painterly approach to abstract expressionism, working in pastels, oils, acrylics, charcoal, and markers. His masterful use of color conveys emotion and energy, transforming each canvas into a deeply expressive dialogue between artist and viewer.

His paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the Southeast, including the River Gallery (Chattanooga), The District Gallery (Knoxville), and the Blue Ridge Mountain Arts Association. He has also received recognition in The Pastel Journal and the Southeastern Pastel Society.

Each piece offered is an authentic work by Bill Suttles, a Georgia-based artist whose career began in illustration for Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines in the 1960s before turning full-time to fine art.
