Ryan Sullivan (b. 1983, Malone, New York) makes work that reflects a dynamic approach to abstract painting. His latest paintings are the result of an industrial casting process guided by spontaneity and improvisation: he applies pigment and resin in multiple layers to an open-faced mold. The resulting works use traditional painting concepts of figure and space, while also probing the limits of the medium. For the High Line, Sullivan installs four new resin paintings in conversation with the surrounding cityscape and plantings at 29th Street. |
