  • Sean Scully: Inside Outside Media Release
    Sean Scully: Inside Outside Media Release Longside Gallery and Open Air 29 September 2018–6 January 2019 “I have spent my life making the melancholic into something irresistible. Because the world has changed around me and become more regretful, my paintings have become more true.” Sean Scully Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) presents Sean Scully: Inside Outside, the largest-ever presentation of sculptures and first exhibition of sculpture and painting in the UK by the Irish-born artist. Exploring concepts of landscape and abstraction with human experience, the exhibition unites sculpture with important recent paintings on aluminium, together with works on paper. Drawing out ideas pertinent to the singularity of YSP and its landscape, this is a poetic, robust experience that embraces the Park’s topography and Scully’s exceptional vigour, as well as his belief that in life and art there is perpetual discovery. The exhibition presents an artist at the height of his powers. Aged 72, it is evident that there is no curtailment of Scully’s energy, drive and vision. Keenly aware of the labour that dominated the lives of his mining family, Scully’s practice is one of great rigour and toil, his output prodigious. For YSP he has made new paintings and sculpture – resolutely contemporary works that integrate an inclination towards geometry with the romantic sincerity of landscape painting in the historical tradition. Born in Dublin in 1945, raised in London, and now resident in New York, London and Germany, Scully is considered to be one of the most important abstract painters working today. Drawing on European traditions but with the distinct character and scale prevalent Shadow Stack, 2018 and Landline Inwards, 2015 in the USA, Scully is credited with reinvigorating abstract painting.

PATH TO EQUILIBRIUM A Thesis Statement Presented to the Faculty of the College of Visual and Performing Arts In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for Degree Of Master of Fine Arts In the Department of Fine Arts Winthrop University May 2015 By Foozhan Kashkooli Abstract This statement outlines the theoretical, historical, and conceptual influences that shape my Master of Fine Arts thesis at Winthrop University. It further describes and analyzes the series of paintings that compose my thesis Equilibrium, each one a reflection of my aesthetic experience as I evolved as an artist. As I will illustrate, the aesthetic experiences reflected in my work are intertwined with the artist or movement that inspired me at the time. The series consists of seven large-scale, abstract paintings, where I explore balancing form, shape, and color. In this thesis statement, I am asserting my progression as an evolving artist and elucidating my investigation of painting as a unique medium with its own complexity of composition and arrangements of shape, form, and color.

  • New Art Thing That Follows, and That Comes from an Interest in Irish Music – I 1
    Interview Dr Mark Merrony, Director of the Musée d’Art Classique de Mougins, interviews the internationally renowned abstract artist Sean Scully in his Barcelona studio How old were you when you first started to paint or draw? I was about six. While I was at a convent school I was very involved with things like Nativity plays and I used to make the scenery. I was always the school artist. When you were at art school did you only paint abstract pictures? No. I started making very realistic drawings and I drew obsessively for the first couple of years. I pro- duced a lot of beautiful drawings of friends, plants, animals, landscapes. I am showing them in Ireland and in Germany; there is going to be an exhibition that explains this story. I am one of the few artists knock- ing around now that made the tran- 1 sition from realism to abstraction. What was it that steered you towards abstraction? I would say that the drive to abstraction is fundamental to every- Ancient order – new art thing that follows, and that comes from an interest in Irish music – I 1.

  • Sean Scully, 1945 —
    Sean Scully, 1945 — Sean Scully (b. 1945, Dublin, Ireland) is an American-Irish artist who is internationally recognised for his distinctive abstract compositions that interrogate the properties of light, colour and form. Scully studied painting at Croydon College of Art, London and Newcastle University, UK, where he began to work in abstraction. During a trip to Morocco in 1969, Scully was strongly influenced by the local textiles and rich colours of the region, which he translated into the broad horizontal stripes and deep earth tones that characterise his mature style. Scully’s travels throughout Morocco and Mexico would also prompt his decision to move from Minimalism to a more emotional and humanistic form of abstraction. Following fellowships in 1972 and 1975 at Harvard University, Scully’s paintings became increasingly monumental and sculptural, consisting of interconnected three-dimensional panels that anticipated his later sculpture practice. In 1984 he began to develop the Wall of Light series, replacing the precise stripes of his early paintings with solid blocks of colour, built with increasingly loose and feathered brushstrokes into vertical and horizontal ‘bricks’ that suggest a wall of stone. Subtle differences in colour in the paintings indicate the location in which they were created, the changing seasons and the artist’s own emotions. This series formed the subject of a major touring exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 2007. In 1984 Scully achieved international breakthrough through his inclusion in the major group exhibition An International Survey of Recent Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Here, land- T.S. Eliot, Burnt Norton scape and art share the space and merge their destinies. At Pilane, we experience nature and art simultaneously. It is like stepping inside a magnificent panorama by Joachim Patinir (c. 1475–1524), a Dutch artist who liberated landscape painting from its religious undertones. In one and the same picture, he would combine the most disparate natural phenomena – forests, fields, mountain ranges and ocean bays, giving rise to a genre that is now referred to as the world landscape. To see and be seen by others wandering along the natural paths at Pilane is like being a stock figure in a Patini painting. Pilane is like a living work of art, where land and sea, mighty cliffs and moist valleys, fresh verdure and the unique pale grey and soft red tones of the Bohus granite are all combined. It is a cross- section of the entire world, a niche in reality where nature and art interweave their lives and where we can experience this from within.

  • Sean Scully Wall of Light Cubed Opens Thursday March 30 from 6–8 Pm Exhibition Continues Through May 20, 2017
    PRESS RELEASE Sean Scully Wall of Light Cubed Opens Thursday March 30 from 6–8 pm Exhibition continues through May 20, 2017 Cheim & Read is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings, drawings, and sculpture by Sean Scully, which will open on March 30, 2017, and run through May 20. In this show, Scully underscores the interplay between his two-dimensional and three-dimensional work, employing an expansive array of forms and materials, including oil and spray paint, watercolor, graphite, pastel, and oil stick, as well as aluminum, Corten and stainless steel. Among the largest works in the show are the 9-foot Untitled (Tower) (2016), composed of alternating sections of Corten and stainless steel, and Blue Note (2016), a monumental painting on six joined aluminum panels measuring 9.2 by 26.7 feet. For Blue Note, Scully used oil paint on four of the panels and acrylic spray paint on two, a combination inspired by his own work from the 1970s, which was shown by Cheim & Read last year in its first off-site exhibition. Block Red, 2016, oil on aluminum, 85 x 75 in, 215.9 x 190.5 cm © Sean Scully The concepts animating the show, according to the artist, lie in the opposition between ‘ascending’ (the steel tower) and ‘descending and compression’—the latter evoking his teenage experience as the operator of a baling machine at Woolworths, crushing and stacking cardboard boxes. A number of paintings (Block Red and Block Brown both 2016), supplemented by related watercolors and drawings, use isometric perspective to isolate a three-dimensional form in space, representing a significant departure from the frontal compositions widely associated with the artist’s practice.

  • Stroke of Genius: Gesture and Brushstroke in Postmodernist Painting
    Stroke of Genius: Gesture and Brushstroke in Postmodernist Painting by Susan Post “Rose near green and sky blue gives both honour and life.” Leon Battista Alberti Della Pintura 1436 "Every day I look at the sky to capture the colour of the day" Sean Scully 20 Top: Sean Scully Arrest 1987 oil on linen; Bottom: Jonathan Lasker Fachwerkwald 2005 1 PREFACE Priming is my favorite part of preparing a canvas for painting because, after the physical exertion of stretching the canvas, applying gesso puts me in an almost meditative state. I start by wetting the whole thing down, dipping my palm into a bucket of water. When the water first hits the taut dry cotton duck, it forms glistening disks that dance across the surface, breaking up and then coalescing again, in picture plane parties of mercurial oblate globs. It looks very spacy and hyperreal, and I think about making a painting of that. But then I rub my warm hand against the cool water, and it melts through the surface and is absorbed into the canvas which, once wet, will be able draw the gesso deep into its weave, forming a protective seal. It feels so soft, connecting me with each canvas in such a physical, sensual way that I know that, really, this is what I want to be painting about. This kind of presence cannot be simulated. Some paintings are like the water-soaked canvas, full of remnants of a human touch, and for me these are far more interesting and approachable than those that resemble the beautiful, shiny beads of water sitting on the surface of the canvas.

  • Sean Scully: the WANDERER Soon to Turn 70, the Irish- Born Painter Has Been on the Move Since the Age of Four
    62 THE ART NEWSPAPER Number 268, May 2015 FEATURES Artist interview Sean Scully: THE WANDERER Soon to turn 70, the Irish- born painter has been on the move since the age of four. With major shows opening in Venice and other cities, he tells how travelling the world helps him stay “in an active situation”. By Pac Pobric n the Bavarian Alps, mobile phone reception is elusive and Sean Scully is chasing it when I reach him by phone. He is driving to his farmhouse and studio in the village of Mooseurach with his five-year-old son, Oisín, who is in the back seat playing with Star Wars Lego. Scully is in an enthusiastic mood. He is in Germany for a five-month stay and has been Ilooking forward to the reprieve. “I always paint well here because it’s very relaxed,” he says on the phone. “But I paint well wherever I am.” Scully turns 70 in June, and the unfolding birthday celebrations have taken him all over the world. His retrospective Follow the Heart opened at the Himalayas Art Museum in Shanghai in November 2014 and travelled to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, where it closed in April. Another survey, Moving or Profound or Necessary or Beautiful, at the Pinacoteca do Estado in São Paulo (until 28 June), opened in April. By the end of the year, 13 galleries and museums in eight countries will have hosted exhibitions of Scully’s work, including the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin (12 May-20 September), the reopened Museum Liaunig in Wandering animates Scully’s imagination of a story about a visit to his studio from Diane Neuhaus, Austria (which was due to open on 26 and there is a James Joycean quality to his roving Waldman, a former curator at the Solomon April, as we went to press), and the Palazzo Falier thoughts.
