I seek to know in the harlot's cry.
I was not a victim, I am at will
I lust for life in the darkest sin.
I find the knowledge that I could win.
I found the meaning within its thrill.
I said I seek intense desire

Abstract art in New York and Chicago

Acclaimed abstract artist Susan Olmetti will return to New York in the summer
of 2009 for the unveiling of the Jonah series. Olmetti's new series of
oil paintings (located on her art sales page) are intertwined in a
fluid movement of frantic energy.

Olmetti commonly refers to tackling a new creation as setting out to
"Kill the Canvas".

Her passion becomes interwoven with twists and turns of color communicated
through her abstract paintings from the depths of her mind's emotional darkness.
The strength of her strokes give life to her artworks with a mood akin to madness.
A menagerie of comically exaggerated characters take on a whimsical and humorous life.
The obscurity of the figures in her paintings reflect the bridling of spirit and
entrapment of soul from those who want to be set free of that which binds them.
