~NICHOLAS SULLIVAN . . ‘BLUE STOVE’/ SUE MUSKAT . . ‘EVERY GAIN DEVINE / ‘SHAKER INSPIRED’ / JOYCE GOLDSTEIN GALLERY, CHATHAM, NY / SAT MAY 14

IF, you’re .. upstate !!

NICHOLAS SULLIVAN . . has a wonderful ‘faux realist’ sculpture /
in this diverse media / group show, ‘SHAKER INSPIRED’ . . !!
ORGANIZED BY . . ERIC WOLF
OPENING SAT MAY 14 / 3 – 6 PM
the show runs . . thru JUNE 18, 2022

JOYCE GOLDSTEIN GALLERY, 19 Central Sq., Chatham, NY 12037
HRS:
THURS-SAT / 1 – 5 PM
SUN 1-3 PM


NICHOLAS SULLIVAN, ‘BLUE STOVE’, 2022.
newsprint, pigment, steel.
15 x 16 x 24 in.
BTW: Nicholas Sullivan . . custom-makes the ‘tiered’ pedestal / bases – upon which this eerily, almost luminous green, 2 ft. tall ‘stove’
stands upon.
they are in fact, part of the piece,
I say: Bravo !! x 1 million.
they are made in perfect proportions, so much so,
I initially thought this ‘faux’ stove . . was – life-size !!

though, I guess in the right setting, his sturdier faux sculptures, like this . . one could be set down without a base ? as some kind of random curio ?
like an over-sized piece of spectacularly incredible . . dollhouse accessory / furniture.
what can I say ? it’s a strange kind of object. and yet a stove, in form.
well, the imagination – does get . . lit !!
