Color silkscreen with enamel inks and flocking on 2-ply museum board // Donald Sultan’s Lantern Flowers - Red/Black background (2017) is a bold and visually striking color silkscreen that combines enamel inks and flocking on museum board. The composition features large, abstracted red floral shapes that dominate the square format, set against a deep black background. The interplay between the vibrant red flowers and the dark negative space creates a powerful contrast, emphasizing the simplified forms and bold outlines typical of Sultan’s style. The flatness of the colors, juxtaposed with the organic shapes, merges nature with abstraction, inviting the viewer to engage with the work on both a visual and conceptual level. This piece exemplifies Sultan's exploration of bold color, texture, and organic form.

What is abstract expressionism?
Artwork by Helen Frankenthaler

What is abstract expressionism?

Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
