His work synthesizes a thoroughly international collection of influences and personal perspectives - ranging from the legacy of American abstraction, with inspiration from the likes of Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock, and that of European tradition, with nods to Henri Matisse and Piet Mondrian, as well as connections to classical Greek architecture.Īt Lisson Gallery’s 24th Street location Scully will debut a new multi-panel painting, Shutter (2019), measuring over 17 feet wide. Having developed a style over the past five decades that is uniquely his own, Scully has cemented his place in the history of painting. While known primarily for his large-scale abstract paintings, compromised of vertical and horizontal bands, tessellating blocks and geometric forms made of gradate and shifting colors, Scully also works in a variety of diverse media, including printmaking, sculpture, watercolor and pastel. Sean Scully is one of the most important painters of his generation, whose work is held in significant museum collections around the world. The exhibition will span both New York gallery spaces, featuring new paintings, large-scale sculpture and works on paper at 24th Street and a focus on the artist’s longstanding, but lesser known relationship to figuration at Tenth Avenue. Lisson Gallery is pleased to present its first exhibition with Sean Scully, having recently announced representation of the Irish-born, American artist in North America.
