Artwork Description

The artist’s body of work is governed by her mission to reassign meaning to materials that have outlived their perceived purpose. Susanne works with reclaimed wood and other items to produce geometric wall sculptures that may remind the viewer of abstract modernist paintings.
Her collection of small timber off-cuts—leftovers from projects undertaken at her local Woodworkers Workshop; plus other items and bits of flotsam collected over time and kept in a box. Susanne calls this her box of life’s forgotten fragments.
Susanne began assembling these items together, playing with shapes and texture to create an interesting and pleasing piece. Whilst doing this the Dave Clark Five song Bits and Pieces from1964 popped into her head—a perfect name for this evolving composition.
Some of the timber remains in its natural state, while others are stained or painted with acrylics, adding depth and contrast. For a further interest a few vintage buttons, washers, pieces of hacksaw blades and whatever else came out of her magic box. Each element is securely adhered to a timber-framed board, creating a rich, textured assemblage.
The result is a captivating interplay of shape, colour, and materials—so many bits and pieces coming together to form something entirely new.
Comes with Certificate of Authenticity. The piece is finished in a satin varnish (please note images are taken before the varnish to reduce reflection).
Note that insitu examples may not be to scale.
The artwork is framed and ready to hang.

Susanne Bianchi 70 artworks | 13 Sold

Susanne is a Gold Coast-based artist whose work transcends the ordinary, inviting viewers into a world where emotions and stories take precedence. By skillfully manipulating shapes and colors, she moves beyond mere representation, creating compositions that are both evocative and thought-provoking.

Her approach is deeply intentional, using stylized forms to distort the familiar and reveal a deeper essence. Each brushstroke is a deliberate choice, balancing abstraction with recognition to encourage interpretation and engagement. Rather than simply depicting reality, she seeks to elevate it, offering a fresh perspective on the everyday.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, Susanne seamlessly blends tradition with a touch of the avant-garde. Every canvas becomes an experiment—an exploration of perception, form, and feeling. Through her work, she challenges conventional ways of seeing, embracing the freedom that comes with artistic expression.

Rooted between the ocean and hinterland of Queensland’s Gold Coast, her surroundings provide a rich source of inspiration. This connection to nature and place subtly informs her palette and compositions, adding depth to her visual storytelling.

Ultimately, Susanne’s art is a celebration of stylization and its transformative power. By bridging the tangible and the intangible, she encourages contemplation, sparks conversation, and reminds us that beauty lies in perception—waiting to be discovered in every brushstroke.
