SUSY MANZO AND THE ESSENCE OF BEING
Looking at one of Susy's works is like looking at Susy herself.
Susy is a complex artist, who expresses herself in the enigmatic game of her
disenchanted look on the world and things, and who can transmit troubled
sensations to the soul of who watches while being watched.
Especially in her most recent works, Susy Manzo has scraped off all the chromatic
aspect which has deeply characterized her previous works, drawing a clear line
of demarcation between her "before" and her "after".
The strong and intense eyes of the series "woman of flowers" belong to white and
ethereal faces, that convey a sense of unease and tranquility at the same time.
Observing them is like talking with Susy: it is like looking at her while she watches us,
in an endless challenge to who first captures the intimacy of the other.
Susy has catched the meanings of the complexity of a quiet anxiety and the
impossibility of a look coming out of the canvas and looking at the viewer.
And she made them Art.                                                                    (Roberto Ronca)
