In Donald Sultan’s sculptural works, which appear like sculptural still lifes, the artist does not aim for a figurative illustration of common things, but for their formal abstraction. In doing so, the influence of industrial design becomes apparent in his artistic output. In the series ‘Silver Lantern Flowers’ the rigor and monumentality of form contrast with the associated fineness of the flower.
