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.

  • Earth, Claverack: Impressionist Style Hudson Valley Landscape Painting, Framed
    By John Kelly
    Located in Hudson, NY
    En plein air, Impressionist style Hudson Valley landscape painting of the Catskill mountains and green fields under a blue sky Square landscape painting with a blue, green, and earth toned palette Oil on canvas, 14 x 17 inches in handmade black frame John Kelly approaches the Hudson Valley landscape with the eye of an architect and the hand of an impressionist. With intense attention paid to form and light, Kelly nevertheless manages to abstract the landscape just slightly, breaking earth, sky, and atmosphere down to their most elemental qualities. In this painting, the artist situates his gaze towards the blue Catskill Mountains in Claverack, NY. Lush green fields are pictured in the foreground while small strokes of white paint against a blue sky suggest passing clouds on a bright summer's day. Paint is applied in a painterly, gestural manner where some texture is built upon the surface. The painting is complimented with a handmade black painted wood frame, measuring 14 x 17 inches. About the artist: Hudson Valley based painter John Kelly received his education from the Art Institute of Boston and Buffalo State. He has been exhibiting around the northeastern United States since the 1970s.
