Donald Sultan's Abstract Mimosa Paintings at McClain Gallery Through April 2026

The McClain Gallery in Houston is showcasing Donald Sultan's "New Mimosa Paintings," which will be on display until April 25, 2026. This collection presents stylized abstractions of mimosa flowers, depicted as circles set against intricate leaf-and-branch designs. Drawing inspiration from mimosa blooms in Southern France, Sultan merges organic shapes with vibrant stencils to achieve spatial depth. His work reflects influences from minimalism, abstract expressionism, and op art. Key pieces include "Spring Mimosas Dec 2 2025" (48 x 60 inches), "Pink Mimosa January 10 2026" (72 x 96 inches), and "White Mimosa With Three Anomalies March 10 2025" (48 x 96 inches). The exhibition artfully balances decorative aspects with visual challenges, celebrating beauty without necessitating an art historical context.
