Donald Sultan: Dark Objects
Huxley-Parlour Gallery are delighted to present a retrospective exhibition of works by acclaimed American painter Donald Sultan. Spread over two floors of the London gallery, the exhibition will include 17 works produced from 1977 through to 2019. It is the first exhibition of the artist鈥檚 work in London in 10 years and provides an opportunity to re-evaluate these important and influential paintings at a prescient time.
Sultan is known for his large-scale paintings produced using a range of industrial and non-art materials, including tar, latex and rubber, and for his graphic and restrained investigations of form. The exhibition looks to reassert Sultan鈥檚 status as a vital figure in the reinvention of painting that occurred in New York in the 1980s, and also in the reestablishment of figuration in contemporary painting.
The exhibition will include early, smaller-scale experiments in tar, tile and Masonite from the 1970s, three monumental works from Sultan鈥檚 celebrated series 鈥楧isaster Paintings鈥� as well as works in charcoal from his series 鈥楤lack Lemons鈥�.
