SPACEMONKEY ART

Keith Sullivan, A.K.A. SPACEMONKEY, is a Severna Park, MD-based abstract artist born in Brooklyn. His connection to textures and surfaces began early when trips to Manhattan and the graffiti-scarred landscape were at the core of his inspiration. His Aunt, also an artist, contributed to his passion through gifted master art books where his love for the unusual began to form.

Keith is an abstract expressionist painter who works in a number of different mediums, primarily oil, acrylic, and enamel. He works with an intensity fueled by the power of improvisation. Driven by a restless subconscious, he compresses moments of emotion into ghostly configurations of color and texture. Through constant layering and stripping of pigments, he peels back the bizarre and unusual mysteries and misconceptions of visual reality. Keith works on multiple pieces simultaneously, destroying nothing. He conjoins the discarded fragments of the past into new creations.

Since 1997, Keith has participated in dozens of exhibits throughout the Eastern Shore. Notably, award-winning at Gallery 93, NY; Designer Source of Sarasota, FL; a juried exhibition at Washington Art Associates, CT; award winner at The Art Salmagundi Club, NYC; The Art Crowd Magazine Floating Gallery as well as 2 solo exhibitions at The Atrium Gallery, NJ. His most recent solo show occurred at Homme Gallery in Washington, D.C.
