Susannah Bond is a Melbourne-based artist who is best known for her textural still life paintings. With a practice inspired by 20th Century French painters Nicolas de Stael and Bernard Cathelin, Bond uses oil paint and cold wax to create vibrantly coloured and harmoniously layered scenes. Bond often evokes a sense of nostalgia through her composed moments of still observation.

In her 2025 oil painting ‘Soft Pink Morning’, Bond creates a classic still life composition of a vase of pink flowers. In thick, gestural brushstrokes, her painting is highly textured - drawing inspiration from the French artist Bernard Cathelin, Bond’s floral still life paintings are often built up through many layers of oil paint. The resulting painting is loosely-detailed and yet instantly atmospheric. In soft, pastel tones, this still life scene appears as a lingering memory of a sunlit morning.

Since returning to her painting practice in 2010, Bond has been selected for Artist of the Year three years in a row at the Victorian Artists Society, and her works have been featured in the Art Edit Magazine, Home Beautiful and Grand Design magazines. For lovers of contemporary Australian art, Bond’s paintings are a joy to discover.
