Oil Paintings and Sun is a monographic art book devoted to the work of American painter Suzan Frecon, whose paintings are known for their quiet, contemplative compositions, subtle colour relationships, and sensitivity to light. Frecon's work often uses oil paint, egg tempera, mineral pigments, and gold leaf to create abstract forms that evoke natural landscapes, stones, vessels, fruit, and changing light without becoming literal representations.

The book presents Frecon's paintings as objects to be experienced slowly, emphasizing the relationship between colour, surface, light, scale, geometry, and space. Her restrained palette and carefully constructed organic shapes create an atmosphere that sits between abstraction and the natural world.
