Susana Tanger (1942 - ) is an American artist who has lived and worked in New York since 1964. Her works have been included several times in group exhibitions at the MoMA in New York, in 1976, 1977 and 1992 respectively. The artist explores nature as his inspiration, a tribute to his upbringing in rural New England in the 1940s and 1950s. To determine the process in starting a new painting, Tanger looks to his past, balancing the need to express psychological events with the formal aspects of deciding his procedure. Tanger constructs paintings with an approach that allows unexpected forms to occur, as it is less important for her to represent things naturally; the goal of the work is to represent his lived experiences in whatever visual form they resemble. Tanger's use of repetition alludes to an essential and central figure in the work, even when this figure is not fully visible. The approach that Tanger takes in discovering the reality of a painting derives from a constant migration between the subjective and objective modes of experience.
