Inspired by Mid-Century Modern design

“Gioco Palla” (diptych) (oil on canvas), by Boston-based painter Susan Morrison-Dyke, in her show “A Roll of the Dice,’’ at Bromfield Gallery, Boston, through July 28.

She says:

“Finding my inspiration in the sleek abstraction of Mid-Century Modern design, the inventiveness of cubism and the authenticity of primitive and ancient art, I often rely on intuition and spontaneity to guide my artistic process.’’

The gallery says:

“Morrison-Dyke’s vibrant abstract paintings juxtapose formal blocks of color with playfully drawn interpretations of natural and stylized forms.

“The improvisational quality of the work results from a decisive design structure, which underlies the artist’s use of inventive and painterly abstractions.’’

The Chapel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, designed by Eero Saarinen, is a classic example of Mid-Century Modern design. It was opened in 1956.
