DONALD SULTAN

ARTIST INFO

The American painter, sculptor and graphic artist Donald Sultan (* 1951 Ashville, North Carolina) is known for large format still lifes and his use of unusual materials. These are industrial materials such as putty, tar, enamel or even vinyl tiles. His works can be found in international museum collections.

The printmaker Donald Sultan has been working with lithography, etching, screen printing, woodcuts and simple linocuts for decades. Among his works are complex, large-scale aquatint etchings that mimic soft-edged charcoal drawings. The art world sometimes speaks of printed marvels that remotely hint at the graphic element.

The draftsman Donald Sultan remains connected to nature and shows in partially silhouette-like charcoal drawings and compositions in colored chalk – or flock on paper – monochrome forms reminiscent of fruits and flowers. Floating, his motifs move up to the edges of the sheet, which sometimes makes them appear surreal.

 

Donald Sultan said of his still lifes with flowers:

“I’ve been using floral imagery for 40 years…because in the 1970s I began to see the urban environment as a source of new growth. Back then, nobody of my generation painted flowers; today … (are) of course they all are.”
