Sean Scully

<p>Dark Windows is a suite of five paintings completed in early 2020, which combines Sean Scully’s lyrically intense horizontal bands from his ‘Landlines’ series with an inset painting – a practice of the artist since 1972.</p><p>Dark Windows incorporates this duality with masterly proportion and austerity, bringing out a clairvoyant appraisal of our relationship to nature. It is a painterly declaration calling to mind the work of Kazimir Malevich and Ad Reinhardt, with the fundamental directness of the black inset punctuating the romantic lines of nature: an unflinchingly humanistic view of our times.</p><p>‘They are a response to the pandemic and to what mankind has been doing to nature... There is a struggle... It’s brutal. But at the same time, it’s good to look at. It holds your attention. It seems to have a hypnotic effect. You can’t quite get to the bottom of it. It’s like an endless conundrum. What is going to triumph in this painting? What is going to triumph in our world?’ – Sean Scully</p><p><strong>Sean Scully</strong> (born 1945 in Dublin) is recognized as one of the most important abstract painters of our time. His works have been shown in more than 200 solo exhibitions and are represented internationally in numerous museum collections. Scully lives and works in Upstate New York and Bavaria, Germany, with a further studio in Berlin.</p>
