DONALD SULTAN
View through Artsy
Donald Sultan is a painter, sculptor, and engraver known for his large-format works in which he uses industrial materials to represent everyday objects. In his usual iconography, flowers and fruits shaped in colorful still lifes on dark backgrounds stand out; the delicacy and elegance of the representations contrast with the materials he uses: tar, aluminum, enamel, or tiles on Masonite.
