Artwork Description

You see a pineapple. You wanna know what I see? I see a moment of clarity. I see a man who battled social anxiety all through his twenties finally say enough is enough and almost in an instant, stopped doing things to please others.

The Pineapple represents a turning point in my art career. A point where I stopped painting things that I thought others wanted to see and started painting from the heart.

Yes, it's a pineapple, but it's my pineapple.

Hope you love it as much as I do.

Artist Bio

Born and raised in Coatbridge, a small working-class town on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland, Sully (Martin Sullivan) took to drawing and painting from a very young age. He would then later graduate from the Edinburgh college of art with a Bachelors degree in Visual communication. He now lives in Sydney, Australia.

Sully's describes his work as abstract geometric. Using heavy brush strokes and straight lines he pieces together the subject matter in an original way. He aims to stand out from the crowd with his style and show his versatility through a painting style rather than a specific subject matter. His work is also an insight into him as a person or at least the person he try's his best to be every day. Bright, bold, colourful, energetic and above all, honest.

He believes that art is for everyone and tries to convey that message through his work and his overall brand. His approach to painting and marketing is a combination of what he loves about the art world and what he dislikes about it and the lessons he's learned on his journey. He aims to shake things up in the art world and change the online buying process and the way its perceived.
