Delicate and mysterious, Susan Wolfe Huppman’s "Mirror" is a large-scale masterful abstract painting that inescapably enhances any environment it is placed in. The soft, calming colors of the bottom half become increasingly dark and enigmatic as they make their way up the canvas. The pigments are so expertly mixed that one is hard-pressed to identify a single color. At most, we are left with shades whose color is as impenetrable as the canvas on which they are painted. These ephemeral clouds evoke, suggest, and entice but do not declare. Where they begin or end is as much of a mystery as what lies beyond them. This curious, inexplicable composition is a mirror not to ourselves or the world but what lies in-between the two. It is the ineffable ether unseen, unfelt, but imagined. We find in it everything that does not meet the eye; things that have no word or visual manifestation. Mystery itself."
