Donald Sultan: A Decade of Paintings and Drawings at Serge Sorokko: The exhibit marks the first time Sultan has shown in San Francisco in over 20 years. Sultan is known his for large-scale, stylized still life paintings and the use of industrial materials such as tar, enamel, and vinyl tiles. Sultan describes his work as "heavy structure, holding fragile meaning" with the ability to "turn you off and turn you on at the same time."

 

"After years of anticipation, we are thrilled to bring Donald's extraordinary mixed media paintings and drawings to the gallery and San Francisco," said Serge Sorokko. "In the two decades since his last San Francisco exhibition, the appreciation for Donald's inimitable imagery, as well as his use of innovative materials, has continued ot grow among collectors and critics alike."

 

Through July 1. 10 a.m.-6 p.m. daily. Serge Soroko Gallery, 55 Geary St., S.F. (415) 421-7770.
