Donald Sultan
Donald Sultan nacido en 1951 en Asheville, Carolina del Norte
Vive y trabaja en Nueva York
Donald Sultan combina los medios de pintura, impresión y escultura para construir cuadros elegantes a través del uso de materiales industriales como el alquitrán, linoleo, aluminio, yeso y esmalte.
Sus estructuradas obras son a la vez abstractas y representativas con imágenes rápidamente reconocibles como fue la serie dew los “Desastres”, pinturas que se centraban en la indústria, la guerra y las catástrofes provocadas por el hombre.
Pero a lo largo de los años, ha reinventado la naturaleza muerta con imágenes de limones, amapolas, frutas y flores y objetos cotidianos.
Su obra se interesa en el contrase, Sultan explora las dicotomías de la belleza y rugosidad, la naturaleza y lo artificial, el realismo y la abstracción.
