Near and Far

Near and Far embodies the layered complexity that defines Bill Suttles’ late abstract period — an interplay of distance, nearness, and shifting perception.

Bold planes of crimson and magenta press forward against soft veils of ochre and peach, suggesting landscapes glimpsed through memory rather than sight. Bits of collage and perforated tape hint at measurement or mapping — visual metaphors for perspective itself. The painting’s tactile surface, balancing control and improvisation, invites the viewer to feel the space between intimacy and expanse.
