Sue Rosalind Vesely explores the landscape of the picture plane through the human figure. Her work uses bodies to map out distances and relationships within space. From the very first lines, Vesely’s artistic vision centers on how figures create energetic external spaces. These are ethereal atmospheres pressing against the earth’s curvature, forming a dynamic interplay between form and environment.

Each figure in Vesely’s work becomes a landscape unto itself. She invents features and contrasts within these figurative “lands,” constantly exploring the interaction of colour and form. Drawing from a deep visual memory of anatomy, combined with an aesthetic of abstract colour play, Vesely creates worlds within worlds. In other words, figures as landscapes are situated inside broader spatial narratives.

Vesely’s process involves a subtle layering of conscious and subconscious decisions. Often, she works while listening to spoken word. This distraction opens creative channels that guide the flow of invention. Therefore, her imagination shapes figures that are naturalistic yet universal. They are filtered through memory rather than direct observation.

By working entirely from memory and imagination, Vesely’s figures transform into generic yet poetic versions of the human form. They resonate as shared languages of appearance—memories connecting viewers on a level beyond words. Her work invites slow engagement with the intimate connection between body, space, and perception.

Through this practice, Sue Rosalind Vesely challenges conventional boundaries between figure and landscape. She emphasizes fluidity and transformation in her visual storytelling.
