For immediate release: Opening March 1, 2020 is the second solo show of work by artist Daniel Martin Sullivan. revealing his love of making a BOLD statement - with color, scale, contrast, and materials. Six works have been carefully curated to show bold choices in Sullivan’s work.
When given the option, Daniel Martin Sullivan will choose to do the things that are hard because life is rarely easy. The easy path, the safe choice, these concepts are dull and won’t push the work forward. Sullivan wants to make the choice to get out of the comfort zone and pursue growth. Sullivan’s desire to come to a harmony with chaos is evident by the selected works on exhibit here.

Show Announcement
Walls of Possibility documents the four year exploration of an artist finding his personal language. Like events in his life and the larger world, Hogrefe’s final work can seem to fall apart even as it finds resolution. The painting process is intuitive and carefully studied at the same time, embracing both intention and the sublime “mistake”. Rooted firmly in large scale Abstraction and Figurative Abstraction, Hogrefe uses a variety of mediums and application methods for his paintings and works on paper.

Steven Tritt Solo Exhibition
The fifth solo show by Steven Tritt, this exhibit reveals a collection of work by a mid-career artist spanning two years of risky moves focused on abstracting living forms. Tritt has a long history of rendering imagery, prioritizing a loose approach to material and application. This recent body of work represents a transformation.

About the artist: Steven Tritt is a contemporary American artist born in Aurora, Illinois in 1964. He mixes materials which include many traditional drawing and painting medias as well as nontraditional ones. Collage has figured heavily throughout his career. Shortly after being accepted into the Contemporary Gallery Representation Program at The Art House Gallery in 2017, Tritt’s loosely rendered imagery took a turn towards abstraction. “I feel as if I’m striking a balance between recognizable imagery and abstraction in my work.” This is a direct result of working with Rebecca George and Tritt’s willingness to explore new materials. “While I use imagery as a starting point, there is no obligation on my part to save the integrity of the image, as I would have in the past, to complete a work.” For Tritt there isn’t a preconceived destination on any painting but a commitment to an honest and intuitive approach to art making. His influences include Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, Max Beckmann. He holds a BFA (1986) and MFA (1990) from Northern Illinois University.
An Artsy Exclusive Curated Exhibition of work by six American artists delving deeper into ways to apply the techniques and skills they have mastered by exploring alternate application methods of material, composing, and building surface and palette.
