  • Biography

    Charles Sucsan (1932-)

    From: James Rottman Fine Art:

    Charles Sucsan was born in Paris, France to Hungarian parents. The artist studied ceramics and sculpture in Paris, apprenticing at the studio of Florencio Fernandez, a master ceramist and close friend to Pablo Picasso. Sucsan studied drawing and painting at L’Ecole Municipal de Paris from 1951-1952. In 1952 the artist moved to Montreal, Quebec to pursue a career in the arts. Sucsan started working with a furniture design company when he arrived in Montreal. In 1958 the artist opened his own studio and produced several award-winning decorative objects. Charles Sucsan is a multi-disciplinary artist, working across mediums; producing paintings, ceramics, murals and sculpture. From 1960 to 1975 the artist received a number of commissions to create several large public and private murals in Montreal and Quebec.
    Charles Sucsan translates his unique vision of the world on to the canvas using a hybrid of graffiti-style painting where figures dance along the surface with exuberance, expressions ripe with colour, a world created by the artist that is poetic and beautiful.

    From his website:

    Visiting the work of Charles SUCSAN means entering a constantly changing world where sensitivity and spirituality go hand in hand in an always expressionist context. Aesthetics takes a primordial place within a temporal concept that is always current.
    Sucsan is a witness as much as an actor. Because it takes its roots in the reality within which it evolves. However, we feel in his paintings a breath that goes beyond the vision of everyday life and that is more of the action he wants to exert on his environment. The originality of Sucsan lies in his immersion in a fierce struggle to dominate the material and the expressiveness with which he wishes to adorn it.

    Sucsan's figurative style reflects the image of the artist. It is multiple and deep. Each of the facets of his pictorial production stems from a specific quest in itself. Each painting is a deliberate choice which may have no visible link with the previous one but whose continuity is present through the form, the color, the graphics, the temporality.

    Inspired by the great contemporary currents, Sucsan reshapes them according to an unfailing inspiration for not only forty years of career, but a whole life full of impressions, reflections and decisions
    A research in perpetual becoming.

    ~ Jacques de Roussan, art writer.
