Sue Vesely follows the age old tradition of creating narrative through her paintings. For her the figure symbolizes emotions in a post-freudian manner rather than the mythical/religious events or situations of older masters. She depicts these fleshy seductive and sometimes winged bodies from many angles to suggest the convoluted range of human emotional life. Her figures appear monumental and at the same time dwarfed by the fantasy landscape they inhabit, which is both familiar and antique. Sue was born in Birmingham, England in 1953. She obtained her degree in Fine Art from the Heart of England University in Birmingham in 1977. She then went to the Royal College of Art in London and obtained an MA from the painting school in 1981. She has exhibited extensively in the Midlands and in London. Her works are innumerous public and private collections both in the UK and abroad.
