Born in Brooklyn, Billy Sullivan attended New York's High School of Art and Design and then the School of Visual Arts during which time he began photographing his fellow artists, family and friends from the art, nightclub and fashion worlds. Over 30 years later, Sullivan has accumulated thousands of images that he views as a visual diary of his life, characterizing the people and things around him. From this archive he creates paintings, pastels and ink drawings, primarily portraits and still lifes, Part of a downtown scene from 1968 to the present, Sullivan cites the influence of Andy Warhol on his approach to art, aesthetically and socially.
The ARTPIX DVD and CD-ROM document Sullivan's photos over 30 years. An image archive is accompanied by an audio interview with the artist by Mark Magill, founder of Bomb Magazine, and an essay by The New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl.

Brooklyn-born photographer, painter and illustrator Billy Sullivan remains one of the most celebrated visual artists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.Sullivan's photographs - many taken of artistic contemporaries, relatives and friends - constitute a veritable journal of the artist's day to day life and experience. The artist then uses these images to inspire his drawn and painted tableaux. The Microcinema release Billy Sullivan: Photographs compiles an onscreen "notebook" of Sullivan's work. It also features an audio interview with the photographer and a critical essay by Peter Schjeldal of The New Yorker. |
