Chris Sharp on Instagram: "Sean Sullivan has a recent suite of works featured in Hudson Valley Artists 2024: Bibliography @dorskymuseum curated by @sophielandres on through April 27th, 2024 Just before the Covid-19 pandemic caused streets to empty around the world, Sean Sullivan began a series of Silent City drawings (2020-2023) depicting unpeopled architectural spaces. Monochromatic or divided into two blocks of color, the compositions are anchored by symmetry and repeating patterns that convey a sense of detached voyeurism, eerie calm, or serendipitous discovery. “I’ve always thought of them as postcards that depict quiet places humans have just abandoned or have not yet arrived [at],” Sullivan explains. They are “observations of a lone traveler coming upon a desolate city street. They City Drawing, Desolate, Hudson Valley, Hudson, Abandoned, Eerie, City Streets

Sean Sullivan on Instagram: "When I was a kid I hated, loathed, dreaded going to church every Sunday. An hour spent in church felt like a lifetime. Now I look back on that time as informative and realize that my time was almost entirely spent looking at light through the fractured grid of stained glass windows while listening to music in close proximity to my family. Sounds familiar. This piece is called St. Rose of Lima, 2023.

Thomas Solomon Art Advisory on Instagram: "The work of Sean Sullivan is bound by a set of very specific procedures and parameters, which allow it to become, paradoxically, limitless. Something between a painting, drawing, and print, related to negative and positive like a photogram, Sullivan’s compact works marvelously resist classification. These works, up now at Chris Sharp Gallery in Los Angeles, are so different and beautiful—Certainly worth seeing. ⁣ Image 1: "A day ends," 2023. Oil stick on Kitikata paper, 8 ¼ x 10 ¼ inches.

Sean Sullivan on Instagram: "As mentioned in an earlier post, ‘Faith in Doubt’ mostly speaks to the creative predicament I found myself in while making this work. Absent of direction, absent of ‘inspiration’ I found myself putting faith in the process - the movement of my hands across the paper, the selection of color, the rhythm of mark making. It steadied the ship just enough to make the next drawing and at some point I began to realize that it wasn’t the work at all that was the problem, but the expectation I was placing on the work that was causing me so much heartache. Expectations are the worst, for creating anything really, kills what’s right in front of you. I hope I’ve learned a lesson that sticks.

Sean Sullivan on Instagram: "The conversation is internal and insistent. When working towards a show, I carry it around like a suitcase, unpacking it here and there when there’s a free moment. These days it’s at night as I walk the dog, the stars above twinkling and again in the morning, on my way to work, as the sun comes up. It is, as far as I can tell, a sorting out, an ongoing debate that has been part of my practice for as long as I can remember. On one side of this debate is an engaged voice, faithful and excited about the possibilities of work yet to come. The other is skeptical, doubtful and at the worst of times, harsh and critical. The work is made in and around this schism. This time around, for whatever reason, that second voice got a bit more airtime and I found it more diffi Possibilities, Conversation, Debate, Skeptic, Practice, In This Moment, Work, The Voice
