“Abstraction is the spiritual art of our time.” Sean Scully
Sean Scully is regarded as one of the most significant figures in contemporary abstract painting. His works are composed of geometric fields of colour which, despite their rigorous formal order, possess a profound emotional resonance. Softly layered applications of paint unite structural clarity with painterly expressiveness. Art historically, Scully’s œuvre occupies a position between Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism. His works explore rhythm, space, and perception, endowing abstract painting with a particularly sensuous depth.
