An Icon

Growing up I was always a huge fan of Queen and their music. One of my fondest memories from my childhood is watching the 1986 sold out Wembley gig they did a year after live aid on VHS with my dad.

He controlled the audience with every song, a capella and hand gesture for the entire concert. His performance was charged full of passion and energy. He poured his entire self into every song.

Very often does a person like this come along and change the shape of history and how we think as people too. He was a man who embraced being different, and that's why he was so brilliant.

So naturally I was compelled to celebrate this brilliant mans legacy the best way I know how to, and here it is, an icon.

Hope you enjoy the work as much as I do.

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.
