“A Susan Maddux painting begins as a surface and ends as something far more difficult to name. Folded, pleated, gathered, and coaxed into relief, her canvases hover somewhere between painting, sculpture, textile, and garment. They catch light like fabric, cast shadows like architecture, and carry the memory of every hand that has ever folded cloth.
The Los Angeles-based artist has spent years developing a practice that gently unsettles the boundaries between disciplines. Working with painted canvas, Maddux builds compositions that refuse to remain flat, allowing each fold to reshape the image itself. What emerges is less a painting than an object with presence, one that asks to be read through texture, movement, and touch as much as color.”
