Billy Sullivan "Conversations"
Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery
This event has ended.
Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery presents its fourth solo exhibition by Billy Sullivan: Conversations, an exhibition of paintings and drawings.
In Conversations, Sullivan assembles a body of work that explores the portrait as a document of our time. Drawing from his photographs, Sullivan presents moments of intimate and simple pleasures.
In Klaus, for instance, the still life is injected with life. A silver-haired man sits with his head leaning in his hand. Brushstrokes shift the focus from the ornaments in the foreground to bookshelves, Robert Wilson chairs, and a Ralph Humphrey painting behind. Petrova & Mike captures a couple lingering on a bright couch. Their ease is palpable. In Max 2.4.09 Matis- sean patterns unify the painting as in many of Sullivan’s works, creating a body underneath with a simple line. Recorded as part of Sullivan’s visual diary each of these works retain the spontaneity of the moment.
