Donald
Sultan
Donald Sultan rose to prominence in the 1980s as a painter and draftsman of subjects such as lemons and flowers. Although his paintings fit into the criteria of a still life, Sultan describes these works first and foremost as abstract. The largeness of Sultan’s compositions, huge pieces of fruit, flowers, dominoes and other objects, may be set against a stark, unsettling tar-black background and tend to dominate the viewer.
