RESONANCE ART
In 2005 Susan Gurnee conducted experiments with what she calls Resonance Art. Trained as a scientific illustrator and trompe-l’oeil artist, she drew on her artistic skill to continue a tradition used by shamans and medicine men to evoke change. The response to her first Resonance Art exhibition, in Graz, Austria was very positive. Since then, due to the inspired reactions from others she painted The Body Vital Series. This includes The Heart, The Lung, The Liver, The Reproductive System, The Nervous System, The Brain, The Spleen, The Digestive System, The Bones, The Kidney, The Endocrine System, and The Muscles.
Sue then experimented with works on paper. Each Body Vital painting was scanned at high resolution and printed using archival inks on acid free rag paper in collector’s quality. The results of this print experiment were astonishing. The vibrations from the painted originals were not lost. Sue now offers special individualized works on paper painted over the giclee prints of the Body Vital Series.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
After graduation from the Studio and Forum of Stage Design in New York City under the tutelage of Lester Polakov, Sue Gurnee satisfied her ambition to work as a scenic artist and created backdrops for theatre and motion pictures. Hired by the Larson Company in Tucson, Arizona, Sue Gurnee spent two and a half years painting the background murals for the JungleWorld Exhibit at the Bronx Zoo. At the completion of painting the three story high walls surrounding the three acre indoor habitat for endangered species, she founded her own museum exhibit design company in New York called Brickside Studio. After years of painting and fabricating natural history habitats for museums across the United States, she closed her business and moved to the mountains of North Carolina. Here she invites artists and
like-minded people to partake of the wonderment of nature.
RESPONSES TO THE BODY VITAL SERIES:
“At first I felt nothing. I was busy looking at the colors and the shapes. As soon as I quieted my mind, I felt a bolt of energy surge up my back and my heart chakra expanded. Then I felt warm and slightly light-headed. When I think back on the painting, I can get a hint of the same feeling.”
“Each time I look at the painting, it changes…or is it me?!”
“Wow. I started bubbling up with joy and then felt very loving. My feet were warm and I felt peaceful…”
“I am thoroughly convinced that these paintings are beneficial beyond their aesthetic merit. A growing number of health hotels and clinics in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Greece permanently display these prints for therapeutic purposes.”
