SYRACUSE, NY.- The exhibition, Handmade: The Art of Susan Roth opened to the public at the Everson Museum of Art on June 6, 2015.

Handmade presents four decades of the work of New York artist Susan Roth. A Members’ Opening Night Reception is planned for Friday, June 5, 2015.

This major exhibition surveys more than forty years of work produced by Roth, ranging from her early stain paintings to recent works in powder-coated steel. Roth’s abstract, shaped canvases are composed of layers of color which often take on three-dimensional, sculptural forms. These innovative works are made possible through the use of acrylic products that Roth has had a hand in developing over the years in collaboration with Golden Artist Colors, a Central New York-based company that specializes in acrylic colors and mediums. Roth’s restless experimentation has resulted in a body of work that pushes painting to the limits and has repeatedly opened new areas for exploration. Featuring more than forty works from private and public collections, Handmade connects works across various periods in order to highlight the material and conceptual concerns that have remained constant throughout Roth’s long career, but which also continues to evolve.

“Bringing together works made over a lifetime, Handmade will shed light on a body of work that is provocative and surprising,” said Elizabeth Dunbar, Everson President and CEO.

The exhibition includes paintings, sculpture, and work in steel. Roth’s work has been recently exhibited at the Luther Brady Gallery at Georgetown University, Washington D.C. Her work is represented in many Museum and private collections internationally.

A variety of educational programs related to the exhibition are listed on the museum’s website, www.everson.org.
