My days of life's agony are gone
and all my sorrow of the past
If we should ever meet again some day
I will always have the spirit of my art
Thank God at last


PORTRAIT OF CHOPIN

Oil On Board

It was destined I dreamed of this ending.
Whilst enthralled by his music divine.
In an age when the Master Musician.
Played the song of his soul on mine.

The Jonah series

Created 2008

Artist Susan Olmetti Strikes Jonah For Strokes On Canvas

In the Jonah series, Susan Olmetti has chosen to identify herself with Jonah, history's well-known escape artist and harbinger of bad luck, though redemption is the ultimate end game.

In the contemporary abstract artist's new series, the artist's varied artistic concerns and approaches stream through the paintings' different formal elements in a battle for mastery of the canvas. Racing and weaving amongst each other, they ultimately come together in a fanciful play of color and explosive movement.

The Jonah series is fraught with tension which exudes the humanity of the painter. All frailties and weaknesses are apparent in implication yet spectator find themselves captured by the movement as if careening into the
center of a vortex, and yet a sense of wholeness by being liberated from the individual elements that make up the artwork. The ride viewers take by viewing the works is evokes feelings of a tumultuous ride that Jonah must
have experienced.

Dedicated to My Father Joseph Michael Olmetti

Live Performance by Abstract Artist Susan Olmetti and
Rock Musician Tyrone Noonan

I was asked a question in the third grade about what I wanted to be when I grew up,
so I told my father, "Daddy, I don't know what should I say."

He said, "Susan, sweetheart, you can be anything you want as long as your
family loves you."

During my father's last hours, I cried, "Daddy, what did you mean when I
asked you that question in the third grade?"

He answered, "Susan, always look up at the sky you will see all the faces
in the clouds." I then began my journey as an artist.

Abstract artist Susan Olmetti and rock musician Tyrone Noonan will perform
together during a tribute to her father, Joseph Michael Olmetti. Rather than
detail her life's trials, Olmetti communicates the saga of her life's winding
course in the intense delineation of the darkest of lines in her art
abstraction on a painting dedicated to her father. Native-born Australian
and New York rocker Tyrone Noonan's music proves both radio-friendly and
deeply personal - an evocative and timeless combination of rock, pop and
soul.

The Bullet

Abstract head sculpture from New York artist Susan Olmetti

Abstract face sculpture

On yellow satin skin, my touch
I have clasped the black man's hand
And sought the healing of the white

But what avail is it to bring
The healing of the flesh,
If from the soul of white or brown
Disease breaks forth afresh

= INTERPRETATION =

The eyes and ears of the public are increasingly drawn to the issue of race
as the first African American President of the United States makes his choices
for staff positions. To many, this would outwardly appear to mean that the American
public has accepted equality and wants to see what he can do. Should he fail, it's
likely to fire renewed bigotry and destroy any credibility established along
the way.
