Interior painting is a pictorial genre that focuses on the depiction of interior spaces. Furnished rooms lit with the glow of artificial light or illuminated by the daytime play of the sky shining through a window. The depiction of rooms has been a fixture in art for centuries, but is subject to certain fads. Its popularity changed through the centuries. In the heyday of Dutch painting, depictions of rooms were in high demand. Vincent van Gogh brought them back to the forefront of art interest by painting deserted rooms. The works have in common a certain coolness; they are rarely places that correspond to today's understanding of security. Susan Ryder has carried interior painting into modern times. She creates spaces that extend an invitation to enter and participate in life within them. Opulent furnishings convey a sense of warmth. A set table with steaming teacups or a hospitable arrangement in a summer garden awaken the desire to join in. Susan's interiors feel invigorated and even though the residents are rarely visible, the desire to meet them is awakened.
Susan Ryder is a master at playing with light. Lamps and the glow of the open fire in the fireplace transform the colors of the walls and furniture. Hallways are illuminated by cool sunlight as the light falls through the crack of an open door. It's these little details that make interiors so endearing. Doors open as if by accident, a coat discarded or a deck of cards opened give the impression that the occupants have left the room only briefly and will return at any moment. The painter works with fine brushstrokes to create surfaces that reveal the textures of fine fabrics and give the furniture a patina of life and love. Susan Ryder cites interior light as her greatest source of inspiration. In the times that have brought the world back to the domestic environment, Susan has drawn artistic energy. The feeling of seemingly endless time, the spaces that filled the family home with life and the unlimited experience of domestic light sparked a creative phase.
In addition to personal works, Susan Ryder is a sought-after portrait painter. The painter prefers to portray in a personal setting. Her portraits exude the feel-good moments that the person being painted felt while creating the painting. Susan loves to travel for her portraits and get to know her model's home. She takes several days and the result is an overall impression of the personality. Susan's portraits are empathetic and are a testament to the great passion with which the artist operates. Her depictions have attracted the attention of royalty. Susan Ryder was commissioned by Prince Charles to paint a portrait of Lady Diana and in later years portrayed Queen Elizabeth. To top
