Susan Ker-Seymer: Some Kind Of Love
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC'S PICK: Some Kind Of Love, Marcia Wood Gallery — Susan Ker-Seymer’s latest exhibition marks her debut at this Buckhead gallery The show runs from Saturday, June 6 through Saturday, July 25, with an artist’s opening reception on Saturday, June 6, between 6 to 9 p.m. In her artist’s statement, Ker-Seymer describes her motivation for this collection of work — and its complexities. “In quiet resistance to a culture that privileges consumption and polished resolution, I am drawn to visual languages that acknowledge instability, incompleteness, and change. Rather than seeking fixed conclusions, I work within moments of transition — states where meaning remains open, provisional, and alive.
“In the exhibition - Some Kind Of Love - love enters here not as sentiment, but as a way of holding contradiction. It asks how opposites might coexist: attraction and aversion, tenderness and friction, beauty and truth. I am interested in how a painting can be both alluring and unsettling at once — how pleasurable color and buoyant form can also carry tension, uncertainty, and provocation. In this sense, love becomes a practice of staying present with complexity rather than seeking to resolve it.
“Through these paintings, opposing forces are realized through shifts in scale, spatial arrangement, layering, and chromatic contrast. Forms of varying sizes float close to the surface, jostling for relation and position. Warm and cool colors bring lightness and movement, while inexplicable elements emerge from behind, drift across the field, or press at the edges.
The crowded compositions invite viewers to make sense of relationships poised on the edge of entropy or at the threshold of a new world.”
This exhibition is presented in tandem with George Long’s newest
offerings, Spoilia.

From the venue:
Susan Ker-Seymer is a visual artist working in painting, printmaking, and installation. Her work is centered around the dualities of temporality and impermanence, perfection and insufficiency. As a counterbalance to our culture that privileges consumption and polished resolution, Susan is drawn to visual languages that acknowledge instability, incompleteness, and change. Rather than striving for fixed conclusions, her work embraces moments of transition—states where meaning remains open and unresolved.Susan Ker-Seymer: Some Kind Of Love | 06/06/2026 6:00 PM
