Kent Sullivan

Cedar Point, Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
"Artists see value in revisiting and painting a specific place," explains Kent Sullivan. "Think Monet and his haystacks. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is one of those places for me. It can be painted a thousand times and still be a fresh new challenge every time my eyes fall on the expansive beauty of the canyon."

About the Artist
There are more places Kent Sullivan would like to paint than he ever will be able. Employing many of the Hudson River School methods in his landscapes, Kent captures the ephemeral interactions of clouds, sun and earth with his delicate use of color and gesture. His work is published in two prominent books: "Art of the National Parks" and "Picturing Florida." He has lectured at museums and been sought after by many large corporations. “Several years ago I had the incredible fortune of being part of the NASA art program. Five paintings are now part of the Smithsonian Collection. At one gathering at the Kennedy Space Center, Leonard Nimoy came up and asked me for my autograph!”
