The movements of artworks by Mr. Sean Sullivan in his new opening at Chris Sharp Gallery is one which is compelled into the mystery of fate. It is here where the need for experiencing color and figure, as well as space, are coalesced into the medium of a serious poise in grace.

For with grace, there is the necessity of an external power that accords the willful desires, the human will, towards succeeding in a way which is certainly heavenly. It is that progress unto salvation, which is so uplifting, yet in the most cerebral of exquisite efforts.

The modesty of the compositions is also impressive, with typical dimensions of 10.25 inches and 8.25 inches. We are introduced to a delicacy which is so necessary for the movement of grace. Is this not what is salvific about the idea of heaven?

A place where spontaneous human order rests with such a terrific yet subtle burst of the oil sticks which Mr. Sullivan creatively deploys into causing a layering of smothering self-reflectance. In peering into the chaos of space and excelling with an excited alchemy with the finishing touches of humanly imposed order.

It is a dance, is it not, of changing the world of appearances into such original beauty? This is fine art.
