Sean Scully

12.12.93

A luminous arrangement of horizontal bands in muted, earthy tones fills the paper with quiet rhythm and meditative weight. Scully's gestural watercolour washes bleed softly into one another, lending the geometric composition an organic warmth that distinguishes it from his larger painted works. The intimate scale and fluid medium reveal a tender, exploratory quality in his enduring investigation of the stripe as a vehicle for emotional expression.
