Artist of the moment……….Ryan Sullivan

 

Ryan Sullivan is an American painter renown for his abstract paintings which are similar in style to satellite images of the earth. Ryan Sullivan was born in the year 1983. Sullivan’s process of creating involves lying his surface flat on the ground and pouring paint and other mediums on top of the surface. In addition he then tilts the canvas in various directions.

Sullivan attended the Rhode Island School of Design located in Providence, Rhode Island.

The artist uses the dates he creates his art as the titled of his works.

The artist has had exhibitions in Europe and the United States.

Sullivan uses many mediums in his work including oils, acrylics, enamels, wax, and latex.

Price range information: $80,000 to $200,000.

Other artist whose creative process include pouring paint include Damien Hirst and Ian Davenport.

Sullivan’s work reminds me of a Google maps image that is brought to life! What a wonderful example of modernist art. Modern themes in his work include the medium of latex and the pouring of paint.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!! A new work by me!!!

Happy Halloween!  One of my favorite genre’s is the collector and their house as art. In this work I wanted to celebrate visual artists who created something associated with my FAVORITE holiday!

Each panel is 9  by  12  inches. Medium is paper collage.

This is a diptych, a two panel work. As a child I loved to watch the Addams Family so I thought what other art pieces might exist in the house besides the fish with the human leg sticking out.

All artists have been written about on my website!

Pumpkin-   Japanese master Yayoi Kusama.

Frakenstein- Vik Muniz, Frankenstein, caviar monster series. The artist recreated monsters using beluga caviar.

Vampire Mouth- Ruby Sterling

Pumpkin Head Man- Jamie Wyeth

Happy Halloween everyone and try to make some artwork to celebrate the holiday!
