Careers
After working in Dundalk, for six years teaching art, O'Sullivan returned to Limerick where he had been a member of Contact Studios for six years.
He has been a portrait artist for twenty years, but later moved to a living painting, incorporating non-traditional techniques, including drip pain, sprinkling and patches of paint, scratches, scratches and more conventional painting methods into complex coating processes. He also works with various transparencies and glazes, drying at different levels to achieve texture contrast. Among these textures and colors, sometimes hidden, sometimes not, are the numbers in the scene. Each section has its own atmosphere or theme but such an interpretation is often left to the viewer.
He has a number of works both in private and public collections, including County Louth Municipal Collection, the Law Library Collection (Dublin) and he has a share acquired by the Irish Contemporary Arts Society that they donate to the Butler Gallery Collection, Kilkenny.
O'Sullivan's painting was featured in a solo exhibition at the Basement Gallery of An TÃÆ'¡in Arts Center in 2008 and again in 2014.
In 2014, O'Sullivan's So Early, So Tired's painting won the best event award by Gateway to Sedona.
