Acrylic on wooden panel, 12 × 12 in
Quiet Shear is a restrained structural abstract that explores suspended tension through horizontal movement and subtle atmospheric layering. A soft, luminous field is held in quiet equilibrium by a dark sweeping band that traverses the surface, creating a sense of pressure, pause, and controlled release. Cool ultramarines and softened neutrals interact with areas of warmth beneath the surface, producing depth without visual noise.
The title refers to a structural force — a lateral stress that acts silently but decisively. Rather than illustrating force directly, this work suggests it through balance, weight, and spatial compression. The composition remains calm, yet charged, inviting sustained viewing.
Painted on a rigid wooden panel for durability and archival stability, Quiet Shear reflects a mature phase within Susan Hunter Guise’s abstract practice, where movement, structure, and atmosphere converge with deliberate restraint. The surface reveals layered decision-making without becoming decorative or busy.
