The Hills Are Burning: Los Angeles Paintings; an international online solo exhibition by Susan Lizotte opens on November 15 and will continue through December 15, 2021.
Susan's paintings show a collection of private and public views, both beautiful and destructive, that make up the urban landscape crisscrossing Los Angeles, reflecting both our fragility and our resilience. As written in her statement, "The current wildfires burning out of control in the Amazon, the Arctic and Portugal, combined with the recent spate of horrendous wildfires that blanketed the state of California most of the past year gives urgency to the theme of fire, and its effect on our climate and planet as a whole. The wildfire paintings depict the danger and unpredictability of the Santa Ana winds, which are catastrophic and life threatening. The horrifying can yield the sublime, for often the particles in the air during a wildfire yield the most incredible sunsets. The sunsets in Los Angeles when there are no wildfires are usually beautiful as well, both gleaming with color and all the promise LA has to offer."
