About the Item

Susan Morrison-Dyke's 'Silhouette', a 35.125" x 23.625" (paper size) oil on paper painting, uses the iconography and artifacts of modern life to blend the styles of Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. The black silhouetted female figure interacts with lines and planes of bright color reminiscent of a street scene. Susan Morrison-Dyke graduated with a BFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University and received the James William Paige Traveling Scholarship, a prestigious 5th Year graduate program award. She was later awarded the Clarissa Bartlett Traveling Fellowship for Alumni at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Both awards allowed her to travel the world making a permanent impact on her work. Susan was highly visible in Boston’s explosive cutting-edge art scene where she was represented by Stux Gallery in both Boston and New York. She later moved to New York where she worked for Phyllis Kind Gallery and was represented by Richard Green Gallery in SOHO. She eventually relocated with her young family back to her hometown of Oklahoma City, staying 22 years before returning to The Fenway Studios to live and work in Boston. Her large-scale paintings have been featured at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Aldrich Museum, Danforth Museum, Provincetown Museum, Berkshire Museum, Brockton Museum, Harvard University, Tufts University and Boston College among many other galleries and universities throughout the country. Private and public art commissions include OKC’s Barons gift for Aubrey McClendon at Chesapeake Energy, Architectural Design Group’s (ADG) gift to St. Anthony Hospital, Special Care, Inc. Murals, Oklahoma City Police Headquarters Acquisition of Ballpark Murals Paintings, New York’s MTA Arts for Transit Subway Murals at Borough Hall Station in Brooklyn and The Bricktown Ballpark Murals for OKC’s Metropolitan Area Project (MAPs) Public Art Program.

'Fenway Studio Window', by Susan Morrison-Dyke, Oil on Paper Painting, 2021
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
Susan Morrison-Dyke's 35.25" x 23.5" (paper size) Oil on Paper painting uses the device of a window to illustrate the boundary between interior and exterior worlds. The view from the interior or exterior is ambiguous and allows the viewer to interpret their own desired orientation. "Fenway Studio Window personalizes the experience of working in my studio during the longest days of a world pandemic," says Morrison-Dyke. This framed abstract painting features a variety of colors including creams, oranges, blues and lavenders. Susan Morrison-Dyke graduated with a BFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University and received the James William Paige Traveling Scholarship, a prestigious 5th Year graduate program award. She was later awarded the Clarissa Bartlett Traveling Fellowship for Alumni at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts.

'Solarium', by Anthony Dyke, Oil on Canvas Painting, 2022
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
Anthony Dyke's "Solarium," a 74 x 48 x 1.25 inch oil on canvas painting, references solar flares in its use of shape and color. The bright values of yellows, reds and blues surround a large red circular shape. The bright color wavelengths give this painting a vibrational energy. Anthony Dyke was born in Norwich, Vermont and attended The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University earning a BFA and MFA in painting. As an artist and arts educator, he relocated from New York City to his down¬town Oklahoma City studio, working there for two decades before returning to Boston in 2020. Coming from VERMONT where the seasons are distinctly different from one another. My shift from a pastoral setting to an urban environment set up a dichotomy in my work, both visual and emotional. I have an extensive education in painting, photography, graphic design and figure sculpture. These mediums intersect in my work through many years of creating artworks and currently speak to my interest in abstract painting. During my senior year in the BFA Program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, my large painting “Natole” was chosen by Frank Stella (the juror) into the highly competitive and prestigious Dana Pond...
