Bill Sullivan
Guadalupe (Landscape Oil Painting of Guadalupe Statue in Mountainous Colombia)

c. 1980

About the Item

16 x 23 inches $2,500 oil on canvas Modern, horizontal landscape oil painting of a statue of the Lady of Guadalupe on a high mountain in Colombia. The oil painting is very colorful with highly saturated hues. Lush, high reaching green mountains contrast against vivid blue sky. The great statue of Guadalupe appears small amongst the giant mountains. The mountaintop breaks through a lofty blanket of white, gray clouds that rise from the valley below. The brushwork is very smooth, with little texture built upon the surface. No visible signature. This landscape is horizontal with measurements of 16 x 23 inches in a thin wood frame. About the artist: Sullivan started out in the 1960s as a New York City painter, and was an integral part of the New York scene. Sullivan’s works are in such collections as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Public library and the Albany Institute of History and Art. He has been in countless group exhibitions and locally, his works have been exhibited in a show curated by poet John Ashbery at the St. Charles Hotel in Hudson, and at Carrie Haddad Gallery on Warren Street. About the work by John Ashbery: With only a tinge of irony, Bill Sullivan makes new the vast spaces and swooning optimism of nineteeth-century Luminist painting. Reaffirming the contemplation of nature as its own reward, he also sets new tasks for painting and undertakes them with compelling eagerness. While there has been a tendency among some contemporary artists to present a revisionist view of the "great outdoors" of nineteenth-century landscape painters, Sullivan has no satirical agenda. After spending several years in South America amid the landscapes that attracted Frederic Edwin Church and Martin Heade, among others, he refined and strengthened this awesome imagery after returning to New York. A certain surreality floats though these vaporous visions of Columbia, though this may just be the result of Sullivan's careful documentation of scenes that looked unreal to begin with.

Interested in the style of the Hudson River School painters such as Frederic Church and Thomas Cole, Sullivan sought to adapt traditional landscapes with a modern lens. During the 1970's and 80's, Sullivan traveled in the footsteps of Frederic Church, capturing the same scenes the late artist made famous 100 years prior. Here Sullivan paints a picturesque scene overlooking a mountain range in Medellin, Colombia. Titled 'Pablo's View', Sullivan perhaps envisioned Pablo Escobar...
