This is ‘Edge’, one of 3 works I have on show at Loretto Spring Art, from 6-8 September (swipe for detail pics). It’s an annual celebration of South Australian established and emerging artists and is presented by Lipman Karas. Super happy to be involved amongst a group of talented SA artists! Get along if your local, it will be a great show.

It’s all in the details 😬 work in progress, love adding the detail layers over the colour blocking but it can be a bit daunting, it takes so much time! . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #workinprogress #painting
#happycaturday Pretty difficult to paint straight lines with this cat not leaving me alone! I do love my little Ernest #studiocat but gee-whiz lately he just HAS to be on my lap NON STOP while I’m working and that is not good for precise work #startagain #designerproblems . . #caturday #design #studio #designstudio #designerslife #catsofinsta
Hello 👋🏻 here’s a detail of a painting I did a while back #fromthearchives I’m busy busy working on lots of stuff but none of them are ready for launch soooo in the back of my mind I’m thinking of the paintings I need to finish for a show coming up 😬 there will be similar textures to this one but with a bit of a colour shift. . . Hope you’re having a good day. I’m tired from overworking and sore from working out but I’m feeling happy and enjoying myself a little too much with my work at the moment, which is good because it’s been very hard the for the last week or so, as my grandpa passed away but I’ve been focusing on the good memories and how he really had a great life, and 93 was a pretty good innings. 🙌🏻♥️🙏🏼 . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo
A colour study 🔴🔵🔶. #notreallystraightlines . Hope you’re having a lovely day today I’m working on the computer and I’ve got the music cranked: @thisisarizonamusic ’s ‘Find Someone’ & ‘Nostalgic’ on repeat #80svibes a benefit of working from home that cannot be underestimated is listening to music (loudly) that energises you ♥️ . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #sketch #conceptart #patterndesign #patternobserver #hardedge #sortof
my banners looking pretty good at the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra recently. It was an awe-inspiring performance, there is honestly nothing more moving to me than live strings, something just fills me up in the core 🙌🏻 it’s still quite surreal that I get to work with these amazing folk ❤️👌🏻 . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #contemporaryart #dsart #wallart #abstractart #geometric #geo #australianart #artist #designer #graphicdesigner #southaustralia #adelaidesymphonyorchestra
A bit of colour for this rainy Friday ☁️🌈 hope wherever you are and whatever you’re doing your able to enjoy the sunshine #literallyorfiguratively . . This painting is a #workinprogress #wip for an upcoming group show. Still to add the layered details. I was aiming for ‘hand done wonky’ rather than perfection, I am unsure if I’m ok without perfect straight lines but I will see how it progresses. . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #sketch #conceptart #ihavethisthingwithpink
Studio vibes ❤️ I have a big day on the computer today, fun stuff but at the same time intensely thinking stuff. Inspiration will be powered my music of course, listening to lots of orchestral music and dance music lately #twoextremes Loving Gryffin & CVBZ on the dance front and Shostakovich on the orchestral front, any tip-offs of your fav music to work to? Always looking for more new music to help get #inthezone xx Kels xx . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #sketch #conceptart #patterndesign #surfacedesign #studio #homeoffice
From the archive. One of my favs, which hangs in the studio. I need to get back into making reliefs, everything I’m working on at the moment is on paper. . Hope you’re having a great day so far. I’ve been in the habit of going to the gym around 6.30am which has been a happy start to the day. Feels good to get some exercise done early while the rest of my fam sleep. That was kind of my insta time which I have replaced so I’m still trying to sort out when is the best time to post during the day, it’s been a bit haphazard at the moment. #carvingouttimeforinsta Right now I’m at the Bunnings playground with my 3yr old. Am I the only one that goes to Bunnos just for the playground? . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #relief #woodenrelief
