Sold Original Artworks

Sold works also tell the story of the artist’s practice.

The archive of sold original works is more than a list of paintings that are no longer available to purchase. It shows how Susanne Grahn’s abstract expression has evolved through different formats, color palettes and periods. The currently imported catalog contains many works marked as sold, and the archive on the previous website was even larger. Together, they provide a broad picture of paintings that have left the studio and found new homes. If you are curious about Susanne’s art, the archive can be a good way to understand its breadth. Here you can see small and large formats, calmer compositions, bolder color combinations and works where contrast is given more prominence. Because Susanne works nonfiguratively, the paintings do not have to depict anything specific. What connects them is instead the approach: color, form, texture, intuition and an openness that allows viewers to interpret for themselves what is happening on the canvas. A sold work can also help you put into words what you are drawn to. Perhaps it is a particular combination of muted and light tones, a large horizontal format, a more concentrated square work or a painting in which the color feels energetic and immediate. When you compare several previous works, it often becomes easier to see a pattern in your own taste. This can be valuable both when choosing among currently available originals and when considering a commission. However, the archive should not be interpreted as a catalog from which the same painting can be ordered again. An original is unique, and a sold original belongs to its new owner. If you are drawn to a previous work, you can use it as a reference when discussing color, format or feeling, but a new commission should still become a work in its own right. Susanne’s process is based on intuition and allowing the painting to emerge, not on mechanically reproducing a previous original. When you find a work in the archive that you like, the next step may therefore be to visit the Original Artworks page and see what is currently available. Current paintings are displayed there with images, dimensions, prices and status. You can also explore Fine Art Print. Some of Susanne’s motifs are available as signed quality prints with a certificate stamp and serial number, which may be an option if you are particularly drawn to a motif and would like a format other than a hand-painted original. It is also interesting to view the archive alongside the About Susanne page. Her artistic journey gained momentum after a horse-riding accident that changed her life and after a period during which she explored different paths into painting. She describes how she eventually needed to let go of expectations and trust her own instincts more. The memory of a colorful abstract painting in her childhood home remains an early source of inspiration, and the desire to convey joy, love and movement is a recurring theme in her description of her work. Finally, if you are planning art for a particular room, the archive can serve as a visual reference library. Feel free to note a few titles that you like and compare their proportions with the wall where you intend to place the art. Consider not only the color but also how much space the painting needs around it and whether you are drawn to larger or smaller formats. You can then move on to the currently available works or contact Susanne with photos and approximate dimensions of the room.
