Miami, FL – April 16, 2015 – Last Thursday, The Institute of Contemporary Art opened its doors to present the first institutional solo exhibition for New York-based artist Ryan Sullivan. Open to the public between April 16 and August 20, 2015, the exhibition is a great representation of the museum’s ongoing commitment to exposing its audiences to the work of the most experimental artists practicing today. Sullivan’s exhibition showcases his work from the past two years, with his more recent work being non-compositional, which could best be described as an organic, even abject color palette that is an unconventional yet captivating balance between vivid, murky, and sublime. As image content, the paintings suggest a surface that is in-motion, alive, and contingent. Sullivan’s paintings push the traditional envelope in order to propose new forms of image and image making, and are worth taking the time to experience the brilliance in person.
