About the Item

Shawn Sullivan’s "Double Talk" (2025) is an original, handmade oil painting on cradled panel that showcases the artist’s whimsical approach to surrealist imagery. Measuring 5 x 7 inches, this compact yet impactful work features a stack of two skulls with a serene red and white bird, all rendered in Sullivan’s signature style of thick, tactile brushwork and simplified forms. The scene is framed within a beveled square vignette, bordered by a painted dark surround that creates the illusion of a built-in frame. This choice adds a layer of conceptual play, inviting viewers to question what is real and what is representation. This artwork is unframed but presented on a 1-inch deep cradled panel, ready to hang. It offers collectors a unique opportunity to own a small yet distinctive piece from Sullivan’s contemporary body of work. Shawn Sullivan is an artist based in Long Island, New York. Shawn has known he was going to be an artist since he was in the second grade. At that time, in the New York City school system, a talented student could be tracked for art right through high school. Shawn majored in Painting in college, both undergraduate and graduate. He then went on to have a successful career as a magnet arts high school art educator and a professional artist. Now retired from teaching, Shawn is living the dream of being a full-time professional artist. His imaginative and realistic still life paintings are shown in galleries around the country. He is a member of the prestigious Salmagundi club, where his work can be found in most of their juried exhibits. Shawn was recently chosen to be a Fine Art Studio Online’s BoldBrush Sponsored artist.
