Peter Sullivan's paintings are based on photographs taken with a small digital camera. The photographs are of everyday, ordinary places in which a type of light, an arrangement of forms, or a certain mood has caught his eye.
Working with shapes, patterns, and lines found in the photographs, he develops more abstract compositions involving color, tone, and pictorial structure, with each composition retaining varying degrees of the original image and its specific qualities. This gives each piece a dynamic relationship between the representational and the abstract, and a fluid synthesis of the two rendering either term alone inadequate.
Peter has shown with Hirschl and Adler Modern, New York, NY; Robert McClain & Co., Houston, TX; and Rebecca Ibel Gallery, Columbus, Ohio. His work is in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, MA; and Hood Museum of Art, Hanover, NH.
