Artwork Description

Self reflecting, painted in 2008 depicts a swan, neck arched gracefully with head tilted down as if gazing into it’s own watery reflection.

About the Grey Painting collection: 
Primarily painted in the summer between 2008-2009. The series consists of un-exhibited work in the artist’s private collection which explore O’Sullivan’s experience with debilitating, clinical melancholia. The Grey series consists of acrylic paintings made using a wet in wet technique that requires immediate execution of the painting in a race against the clock to beat Sydney, Australia’s sweltering summer temperatures
