Sean Scully

12.4.18

2018

A luminous arrangement of horizontal bands in muted, earthy tones fills the paper, rendered in Sean Scully's characteristically meditative approach to abstraction. The soft bleeding edges of the watercolour washes are grounded by delicate pencil marks, creating a tension between fluidity and structure. The work exemplifies Scully's enduring exploration of the stripe as a vessel for emotional and painterly depth.
