Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman ‘Orphic Egg Girl’ 2016
|
"Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman: Swallowing the Stone"Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman a self-taught figurative and contemporary surrealist painter who integrates modified oil and egg tempera techniques of the 14th century Old Masters and the genre of magic realism to create pieces that appear to glow from within.
Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman "Cinnabar Girl" 2016 Art critic Shana Nys Dambrot has written that her “deft combination of both modes of art-making yield mesmerizing results that satisfy the impulses of not only the art-historical technique and the fabulistic narrative, at the same time exploring the complex interplay between rendered space in two and three dimensions. So there is a lot going on at once in her work, but whether you enter it through its aspects of formalism, symbolism, or process, with Sullivan-Beeman, the medium is the message.”
Sullivan-Beeman uses her personal dream journal to inspire her artwork, exploring Jung’s collective unconscious with an overt curiosity for the bizarre and the esoteric, especially alchemy and the tarot. Sullivan-Beeman is based in Los Angeles, where her work has been shown at Corey Helford Gallery, La Luz de Jesus Gallery, and Gabba Gallery. Her show with the Stephen Romano Gallery is her first solo exhibition in New York City.

Her photomontage series AETHER, named after the element of unity that combines all five elements - Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Aether itself, further explores these concepts in the female figure. The Pythagoreans (Greek Philosophers) honored Aether by embracing the Five-Pointed Star as their most sacred symbol. These photomontages are the exploration of the sense of self and awareness of the body (Earth) and spirit (Heaven) and their unity, as well as what exists beyond human awareness. The Element of Aether (Spirit) is the celestial energy that fills all spaces, being the conduit between our soul and our bodies. This is a search in unifying light and darkness and to understand their opposing natures as one being as well as their vital spiritual energy.

Stephen Romano Gallery is pleased to present The End Of Things - STATIM FINIS, a survey group exhibition featuring many of the artists that the gallery has exhibited, both contemporary and historical as well as artists the gallery is looking forward to working with in the future. The Gallery's mission has been to blend together the masters of outsider art such as Charles Dellschau, William Blaney, Henry Darger, Martin Ramirez, Darcilio Lima among others with contemporary, historical, vintage folk and photography and vernacular art as well as works of Esoteric art. This exhibition will continue to perpetuate that vision, as the final planned exhibition curated by Stephen Romano in the Bushwick gallery space, (with plans to relocate after August 2016), thus a melancholic sense of ellipsism* is driving the exhibition, uncertainty of the future and contemplating about effects of past efforts. *"Ellipsism": n. sadness that you’ll never be able to know how history will turn out, that you’ll dutifully pass on the joke of being alive without ever learning the punchline—the name of the beneficiary of all human struggle, the sum of the final payout of every investment ever made in the future.
