The Tim Sullivan Show in 2008 was the first time the artist showed in Asia, presenting the full edition of his evocative photographs previously exhibited at the 2006 California Biennial organised by the Orange County Museum of Art.
Sullivan’s photographs are a playful combination of images of popular culture and metaphysical symbols of high culture. The artist has always been concerned with the exploration of the self-critical tendency within modern art; however, the appeal of his work lies in his ingenious ability to translate complex, multi-layered ideas and aesthetic discourses into humorous, seemingly light-hearted visual images. As an intricate visual reference to the nature of modern art, Sullivan’s work provides an intriguing introduction to conceptual art and appropriation.
Acquired from Collectors Contemporary in 2008.
