Donald Sultan — Six Lime Greens, April 5
Donald Sultan

Six Lime Greens, April 5

Six bold circular forms rendered in rich lime green dominate the composition, their smooth, graphic presence balanced against the deep, velvety blacks of charcoal. Sultan's masterful use of conté and charcoal creates a striking interplay of light and shadow, lending the simple fruit forms a weighty, almost monumental quality. The work exemplifies Sultan's signature approach of reducing everyday objects to their most elemental shapes, transforming the ordinary into something powerful and commanding.
