Widely acclaimed for his abstract oil paintings, Sean Scully is an artist whose works often combine geometric structures with contrasting soft edges and thick uneven surfaces to form alternating panels of coloured squares or stripes – such works as Green Ascending and Rouge perfectly exemplify his trademark style of painting.

Although his abstract works appear to have no specific reference, Scully’s previous employment as a typesetter had a great bearing on his later artistic outputs, and of his Land Sea exhibition, Scully noted that his experience of visiting Venice was a major influence as he sought to recreate ‘the movement of the water, how it heaves against the brick and stone of the city’;

« When I got into art school, I thought it was paradise. I wanted to be an artist so much that I was really driven and nothing could stop me. »
Sean Scully

the artist also noted that his earliest memory of art is of a series of devotional paintings on show at a local Catholic church where he grew up, commenting that they were ‘very geometric, like Russian paintings.&rsq Read More

Artwork by Francois Morellet

What is geometric abstract art?

This is one of the forms of abstract art that uses geometric forms placed into a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and then combined into non representational(non objective) compositions. From the experience and results of the many years of research in the area of art, artists have suggested that the process of geometric abstraction can be a solution to the modern problems where some artists have been rejecting illusionistic practices.
