ABOUT SLATER SOUSLEY

Breaking form down into rhythm and pattern, while working quickly to capture light, Slater Sousley manages to achieve a vibrant serenity in his paintings. The way something emerges from the background of foliage questions how one technically and mentally renders an image. Painted against the setting sun, in the woods that Sousley knows from his childhood, the works reveal themselves as a merger of plein air painting and recitations of his past. His art aims to capture the ephemerality of a moment.

Slater Sousley received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Painting and his MFA in Art from Eastern Illinois University. Sousley lives and works out of Kansas City, Missouri.
