About the Item
31 x 61 x 1 inches
oil on canvas, framed with thin black wood stripping
This is a contemporary landscape painting of Guadalupe Hill, a 3,317-metre (10,883 ft) high hill located in the Eastern Hills, uphill from the centre of Bogotá, Colombia. Together with its neighbouring hill Monserrate, it is one of the landmarks of Bogotá.
Visible in the painting is the 49 ft. high statue of the Virgin of Guadalupeconstructed on top of Guadalupe Hill, sculpted by Gustavo Arcila Uribe in 1946.
The two peaks are covered with lush greenery as wispy white clouds float overhead.
Sullivan started out in the 1960s as a New York City painter, and was an integral part of the New York scene.
In 1977, Sullivan met the Colombian writer Jaime Manrique; they travelled to Colombia, where Bill wanted to paint the places that Frederick Edwin Church and Martin Johnson Heade had painted in the 1850s. In Colombia he had a solo show in the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art in 1978. Two years later, Sullivan returned to New York. In 1983 Sullivan travelled to Ecuador to paint the volcanoes that Frederick Church had painted. The years following is return from Ecuador were the period when Sullivan's work was most in display in New York City. Reviewing "World is Round," a group show at the Hudson River Museum, Vivien Raynor wrote in the New York Times: 'Although he believes that panorama in Western art came out of a 'need to paint battles,' Bill Sullivan himself offers a view of the Palisades at sunset, which is no less engaging for being a plain old école de Hudson school landscape.' Sullivan remained in New York City until 2001 where he had several solo shows. In 2002, he settled in Hudson, New York, where his two nineteenth-century heroes, Frederick Church and Sanford Robinson Gifford, had lived. He painted many of the sites Church and Gifford rendered on canvas. In 2006, The Albany Institute of History and Art had a major retrospective of Sullivan's work.
Sullivan remains best know for his large scale paintings of New York City and depictions of city life (joggers on Riverside drive, views of the Midtown) as well as his landscape paintings. 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.
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.

Lotus Number Four (Hard Edge Floral Still Life Painting of Lotus Leaves)
By Frank DePietro
Located in Hudson, NY
30 x 24 x 1 inches
oil on canvas
Inspired by close observations of the natural world and encounters with still moments that give us pause. Lines, shapes and colors encountered in nature, reveal the cycles of decay and regeneration that are life’s constant state of change. The work has a quiet, meditative quality. The subject is portrayed in a manner true to their existence in a specific time and place and selected based on considerations of visual relationships to formal elements of painting. Aspects of photo realism, hard edge and color field techniques are utilized to isolate the uniqueness of the subject’s detail, as well as emphasize flatness and illusion of depth within the two-dimensional space of the painting.
About the artist:
Frank DiPietro was born and raised in Scranton PA. He received a Bachelor of Art from Bloomsburg University in 1997, majoring in both Painting and Ceramics with a minor in Art History. In 2000 he earned a degree in Art Education from Moore College of Art and Design while continuing his studies in painting. Frank lived in Philadelphia for twelve years painting and teaching at several museums, art centers and schools in the region. In 2010 he and his family moved to Chester County PA, where he currently resides. Frank currently teaches painting classes and workshops at the Delaware Art Museum and Longwood Gardens...
