This artwork by Donald Sultan features a bold, graphic representation of poppy flowers in a minimalist style. The flowers are depicted in vibrant red-orange tones set against a stark black background, creating a strong contrast. The large flower shapes dominate the composition, while their simplified forms highlight the beauty of their organic curves. The absence of detailed textures or shading makes the image feel modern and abstract, with the flat colors and crisp lines contributing to a sense of boldness. Sultan’s characteristic use of industrial materials and a simplified approach to natural forms is evident in this piece.
