A 100-year-old Montreal artist is being celebrated with an exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
Sullivan has been a pioneer in the arts for decades and is known for her ability to switch from one discipline to another, moving between dance, sculpture, performance, photography and painting., celebrates Sullivan’s 100 years of life and includes a selection of paintings Sullivan has created over the past two years, which are a continuation of the abstract monochromatic works she began in the 1980s.
“What becomes very clear is how coherent her work is from start to finish. In her sensitivity, responsiveness to inspiration, movement, presence. Whether it’s through dance, sculpture, mixed-media, performances and paintings,” said says Stéphane Aquin, director of the MMFA.The exhibition also features large-scale pastels from the 1990s that were recently found in her archives, as well as an aluminum sculpture that is a large-scale reproduction of a Plexiglas work she produced in 1968.
She told a room full of people on Monday that her inspiration for her recent work was climate change and the environment. “She really works surrounded by nature, by the trees,” said Aquin. “I think she’s felt these changes. Of course she reads the news and it translates in the mood of some of these paintings.”She has been a dancer, sculptor, photographer, chorographer, and a painter. Her career spans 80 years.
“At 100 years old she made these paintings herself, with no assistant — moved the canvases around,” said Aquin.Read
