Art 3 presents an urban vision of London that is in the work of Susan Sichel. Susan lives and works in Brixton and has exhibited in a range of exhibitions including at The Bettie Morton Gallery, SW9.

" The subject of my work is the urban cityscape of London. I rejoice at the luminous perspectives, fascinating both as threat and charm. Whilst some lament a vanishing present as they try to orientate themselves to the continuous transformations. I look for the trail of hieroglyphs joined by space and time, visible as a trace of structures and buildings whose ideology is sinking into this trace.

Perspectives compete conceding no central space. advertisements and traffic signs have as much weight as the buildings. The lacks of foundational ideologies mean that all structures compete for space, crowding out meaning. I like to play with this in my work; buildings are in the process of being taken down or put up. The colour in my pictures is expressionistic but doesn't express any utopian or dystopian vision."
