Sue-Conradie

Sue Conradie

Bio

Underlying Sue Conradie’s artwork is her interest in people and her fascination with light. “The philosophy of Humanism – the belief in the agency and power of human beings, rather than superstition, supernatural beliefs or religious dogma – is the foundation of my life and work.” She prefers the process and non-representational aspect of Abstract Expressionism. Either on its own, in large abstract works where colour becomes the subject or in combination with the figures and symbols that make up the portraits she paints. The juxtaposition of the abstract and the figurative seems to result in a painting that is more surrealist than portrait and can sometimes end up as pop art.

Born in Johannesburg and currently living and working in Cape Town, Conradie hopes to complete her Fine Arts Degree in the next few years. Up to date, she has participated in a number of group exhibitions. Artworks of hers are included in collections in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France and Austria.
