Susan Mintz Slott, a painter and printmaker lives and works on Cape Cod and London. Sue received a B.S. degree from Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and an M.A. in painting and an M.A. in printmaking from California State University Stanislaus. She was a visiting artist at St. Martins College of Art, London. In Houston she was first represented by the Sheffield Gallery and then by the McMurtrey Gallery.
The art of Susan Mintz Slott, by training and temperament, is firmly rooted in American Abstract Expressionism. Looking at her paintings, prints and drawings one is reminded that a work of art is only the physical manifestation, a kind of residue, of the process of the art's creation, the act of creating being the actual work of art. Many of her paintings, appear at first to be cool and austere with large shapes but no recognizable imagery and expansive, highly articulated areas of color reminiscent of Color Field painters, but without the psychological use and apparent flatness of a Barnett Newman or Adolph Gottlieb. The surface of her acrylic, raw pigment, and marble dust paintings, on the other hand, shows her indebtedness to the first generation of American abstractionists, they document the very act of creating: her arm and wrist movements and painterly gestures.
