Derek Sullivan (born 1976) is a contemporary visual artist from Toronto, Ontario. Sullivan’s multidisciplinary practice employs drawing, sculpture, book works, and installation to engage with the legacy of modernist art and design.^[1] He is currently an Assistant Professor in Sculpture/Installation at OCAD University.^[2]

Art Practice

Sullivan's art practice is characterized by its interdisciplinarity. Of the artist, Canadian Art Magazine writes, "employs drawing, painting, sculpture, book works and installation to question familiar forms and genres, often to examine the links between one discipline and the next."^[3] Books and the act of reading have consistently been central to Sullivan's practice. This interest was apparent in the 2011 exhibition Albatross Omnibus at the

Presentation House Gallery in 2013 ^[5] which are only two of the seventy plus Artists Publications Sullivan has produced.^[6]
