Dear Susan, I appreciate very much your gallery and your abstract pictures. A few days ago I was leafing through some monographs by Franco Fontana and you came to mind with your fantastic images. Congratulations on your works and your wonderful gallery.

In Germany we call this intelligent photography.

[Susan] specializes in taking abstract snippets of urban life and can create something very interesting, even beautiful, out of everyday sights that most people would walk straight past! I love that and am secretly really pleased that I've found someone else who likes to take abstract photos of quirky things I might very well take a shot of too!

Quite a nod to Arte Povera in much of what you show on Vero.

I love the way you see things. I tend to follow people who teach me new ways to see familiar things. That's always been my favourite photography.

A beautiful composition Susan; I'd love to go for a walk with you. Just to see how you find these images. Your work is absolutely stunning Susan. Love everything you do.

These unlikely textures becomes so luxurious in your images.

You have the most amazing eye. Thank you for showing us a world that we just walked past every day.

Rust, leaves, puddles, steel plates, splatters and shadows and spills of all kinds. When most people wander through this city, this small horizontal island of Manhattan, it is common practice to look UP. Not so for Susan Bowen who is attracted to the abstract spills embedded in the streets below. Visit her work to see what catches her uniquely discerning eye that is fixed down in the streets of New York and what art she manages to extract/create from underfoot.

Yes.. Structure from Light and Shadow...so delicate

Susan produces remarkable images from the mundane, the messy and the commonplace. If, by some slim chance, you're not following her already then take a look at her work - and discover, for example, how something unpleasant underfoot can become altogether marvellous.

I enjoy seeing all the cool accidents you find and how you make them into art. :)

Wonderful portfolio! And the links to more of your work and influences.... wow! Totally took me out of my bubble. We are all aspiring photographers. Learning to see everyday. Your way of seeing is very inspiring. Thanks for showing your work.

Your very special street photography always makes me look twice, thank you.

Congratulations on your creative and extremely unique style of photography. It is so refreshing to see something that has not been. It just goes to prove what is said that our cameras and lenses are just the tools of the trade, the real art and creativity comes from the artists (photographers) individual perspectives and skills.

Hahahah - love scrolling up to each one and being surprised by what comes next.

I'm assuming this is a tyre track, though it did make me put my thinking hat on. This is the kind of stuff archeologists will one day in the future discover and also wonder what the hell it is. Hahaha. Well done Susan.

Unbelievable what your eyes seeing..

Susan is a unique NYC photographer inspired by the abstract spills and such she finds on the streets of the city. Something a little different but compelling

This is literally street art Susan!

I completely love the abstract, colourful and imaginative world Susan conjures. A totally inspiring gallery.

Very beautiful abstraction... As always, nice eye Susan. Less is more... Top!

I'm constantly amazed about her eye for the beautiful abstract patterns you can find just by walking through the streets.

How to transform simple objects In an artistic masterpiece.

Susan's profile is a wonderful surprise to all those who enjoy details and abstractions out of everyday objects and scenes, definitely worth a follow

I love the steel plates - they always have such a gorgeous patina - great idea you have to photograph them and bring them to life

Absolutely love your style, so refreshingly different and unique

This could be your signature series. Clean, visually provocative but fun and brilliant at the same time. Very cool.

Great series, Susan!! Once again your eye for the invisible treats the rest of us!

I love how things on streets become art through your eyes and with camera in hand.

Fantastic ongoing project you have, Susan! Amazing creativity! It really captures the interest of the viewer!

Just brilliant, Susan! What an eye! What an imagination!!!

Great set of images Susan. This particular image leaves me pondering. I'm trying to make sense of the shapes. Love it when an image has that kind of hold.

These three have to populate a room! Really great! (scrap metal)

Stroll through the photos, and I know, "Oh, this is Susan." Many likes.

Just love your eye for an unexpected gem.

I'm enjoying the randomness that everyone else would pass up. Excellent gallery!

Well composed and making an interesting and welcoming narrative!

So rich. Like the word detritus. I love that word for its uniqueness and artistry. Like your work Susan of beautifully caught and displayed detritus. :) (and far from mundane from your perspective).

I just love the abstract nature of Susan's photos. If you like something a little different, have a look. The sets of images are so creative.

I must admit, everytime I'm out & about in town & noticing abstracts here & there, I think if you!

Gorgeous gallery Susan. Lovely work. Great observations! Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more.

A real eye opener. Fantastic work, Susan.

I'm enjoying these rusty abstracts. I love that beauty can be found in things like corrosion and decay. Excellent urban detritus action (as always).

You have great eyes to find something interesting. Beautiful work.

these abstract shapes are so funny and adorable. i truly love those series

Many compliments for your very interesting abstract project. I love it!

Susan, the balance in this abstract is so on point (not pun intended). Where the red road may feel like it is taking over, squeezing the white textured area, the arrow saves it by pulling the viewer back left and up through the image, giving that small white spaces multitudes more presences and almost feeling as if both are equally balanced. well done.

Nicely framed and abstract composition. I like how I can look at it and see different shapes
