These five large-scale charcoal and graphite drawings by Donald Sultan depict playing card suits and figures with bold, graphic simplicity on luxurious Auvergne a la Main paper. Sultan reduces the familiar symbols of diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs to their essential forms, rendered with his characteristic tension between industrial strength and refined elegance. The works reflect Sultan's ongoing exploration of iconic imagery, transforming everyday objects into powerful, monumental compositions through the expressive density of his mark-making.
