The works of Sullivan, which is currently based in New York, have been collected in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and held a solo exhibition at the ICA Miami Museum of Art in 2015 and participated in the High Line Project * in New York in 2019.

Sullivan produced using original technique.
The painting works, in which multiple layers and gestures are compressed into one plane, are made using resins colored with various color pigments, and the technique is still evolving. The creation of this technique is guided by Sullivan's intuition, and each piece is something that cannot be created in the same way again. The resin stagnates, streaks, mixes, and flows, filling the extremely thin voids by its flow, and finally, “remove the formwork” to create a vivid color and a vibrant rhythmic composition. I will. On the other hand, the work drawn on paper is created by reversing the production process based on the form born from resin painting.

In this exhibition, 12 new works including new series and paper works created for this occasion will be exhibited. We hope you will explore the characteristics of the paint itself and enjoy the abstract world created through various experimental production processes over the years.

* The High Line: An aerial park that connects the Whitney Museum of Art in New York Manhattan and the gallery district of Chelsea and stretches in a straight line using the former elevated railroad tracks. Installations are exhibited as public art, and the exhibition artists include Daniel Buren, Sam Falls, and Arakawa.
