About
Susan
Hippe
Born in South Africa, Susan has lived in Denmark, America, Germany
and France, and is now based in London. After her career in ballet
was cut short by a knee injury, Susan decided to follow a childhood
ambition and become an Artist. She was a Fine Art student in France
and London, and achieved a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) degree from Roehampton
Institute, University of Surrey. She specialises in Mixed Media
and drawing, covering fine art, art for the community, applied art
and graphic design. Susan has completed one public, and several
private commission works in National and International collections
(prints of these works are available).
Artist's
Statement
"In general I like to work on a wide range of themes with
stylistic versatility and the expression of great vitality. My aim
is to create strong, colourful works that reflect the vibrancy and
diversity of the world, but also my own energy. Drawing often combined
with mixed media/collage, on a very large or small scale, is an
essential means of expression. Original themes and ideas are preferred,
but also the use of more unusual material - either as support or
collage material - like cosmetic pads, coffee filters, pencil sharpener
residue, plastic, quilt, textile, aluminium foil, balloons, etc,
exploring the possibilities of the apparently banal objects of the
consumer's world"
