Susanne Nyberg (American, b. 1953). Oil on canvas, ca. 1980s. Signed "S. Nyberg" on lower right. A mesmerizing painting of a bobcat in the wild by American artist Susanne Nyberg. The composition is delineated with Nyberg's expressive brushwork in a pleasing color palette of warm earth tones and vibrant greens. Whereas landscapes encompass the majority of Nyberg's oeuvre, in this composition, she chose to focus on a single wondrous creature inhabiting the land. Interestingly, bobcats can run up to 30 miles per hour and they also prefer to take cover wherever they live; so it's a wonder that Nyberg caught a privileged glimpse of this wild feline! Size: 12" L x 16" W (30.5 cm x 40.6 cm)
Susanne Nyberg was raised in Massachusetts, later moved to Washington, D.C., and then to Arizona. In Boston, she studied at the Art Institute and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and in Washington, D.C., she studied at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design. This said, perhaps her greatest influence was artist Bill Freeman, the prominent Western landscape painter whom she met when she moved to Arizona early in her career. Freeman would become her mentor and close friend. Nyberg is best known for her impressively realistic oil and palette knife plein air landscape paintings. She and her husband have lived in the scenic Arizona desert in a small town called Carefree for most of their lives.
According to Nyberg's artist statement, "Susanne Nybergs artistic inspiration comes from the Arizona mountains where she lives. Whether she is painting realistic landscapes, or abstract paintings that incorporate minerals and gems mined from the mountains, the natural beauty of her surroundings compels her to create art."
