DONALD SULTAN "AQUA TRUMPET" SCREENPRINT, 2011
Donald Sultan (b. 1951) is a prolific American painter, sculptor, and printmaker best known for his unconventional use and application of industrial materials such as tar, aluminum, and enamel.
Sultan's work is invariably imbued with contradictory elements. Rough, weighted materials are layered in rich applications, a contrary approach to the supple imagery of flowers, fruits, and everyday objects represented throughout his oeuvre.
Executed in bold, geometric shapes and a typically monochromatic palette, Sultan reduces his subjects to their essence of both color and form. His minimal approach celebrates the ethos of the subject, resulting in an atmospheric quality that ranges from playful and optimistic to ominous and catastrophic.
"Blue Trumpet" depicts a stylized turquoise flower set against a blank sand-colored paper. The organically-shaped circle is punctuated by a perfect black dot at its centre, adding dimension. While the title evokes a musical image, the motif in this screenprint is similar to Sultan's well-loved floral compositions.
Sultan has received many honors and accolades over the course of his career, most recently receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Houston Fine Art in 2011. Today, Sultan's work is celebrated in over 50 permanent collections around the world including the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Tate Modern (London), and the National Museum of Modern Art (Tokyo).
