Donald Sultan’s "Mimosa" paintings were inspired by a gift of blossoms he received from a friend in the South of France. Sultan uses the plant’s structure as a basis to explore the space between abstraction and representation, natural and invented. The completely abstracted dots within the work are the “anomalies” referred to in the title. Using the mediums of enamel, graphite, cement and silver spray paint on Masonite to create his mimosas, Sultan also explores the boundaries between organic and industrial.
