SEAN SCULLY (geb. 1945)

 
The frame of reference for Irish American Sean Scully’s signature blocks and stripes is vast. From Malevich’s central premise that geometry can provide the means for universal understanding to Rothko’s impassioned approach to color and rendering of the dramatic sublime, Scully learned how to condense the splendor of the natural world into simple modes of color, light, and composition. Born in Dublin in 1945 and London-raised, Scully was well-schooled in figurative drawing when he decided to catch the spirit of his lodestar, Henri Matisse, by visiting Morocco in 1969. He was captivated by the dazzling tessellated mosaics and richly dyed fabrics and began to paint grids and stipes of color. Subsequent adventures provided further inspiration as the play of intense light on the reflective surfaces of Mayan ruins and the ancient slabs of stone at Stonehenge brought the sensation of light, space, and geometric movement to Scully’s paintings. The ability to trace the impact of Scully’s travels throughout his paintings reaffirms the value of abstract art as a touchstone for real-life experience.<br><br><br>Painted in rich, deep hues and layered, nuanced surfaces, Grey Red is both poetic and full of muscular formalism. Scully appropriately refers to these elemental forms as ‘bricks,’ suggesting the formal calculations of an architect. As he explained, “these relationships that I see in the street doorways, in windows between buildings, and in the traces of structures that were once full of life, I take for my work. I use these colors and forms and put them together in a way that perhaps reminds you of something, though you’re not sure of that” (David Carrier, Sean Scully, 2004, pg. 98). His approach is organic, less formulaic; intuitive painter’s choices are layering one color upon another so that contrasting hues and colors vibrate with subliminal energy. Diebenkorn comes to mind in his pursuit of radiant light. But here, the radiant bands of terracotta red, gray, taupe, and black of Grey Red resonate with deep, smoldering energy and evoke far more affecting passion than you would think it could impart.

"Diese Beziehungen, die ich in den Straßeneinfahrten, in den Fenstern zwischen den Gebäuden und in den Spuren von Strukturen, die einst voller Leben waren, sehe, nehme ich für meine Arbeit. Ich verwende diese Farben und Formen und setze sie auf eine Weise zusammen, die vielleicht an etwas erinnert, auch wenn man sich dessen nicht sicher ist" - Sean Scully

Geschichte

Der Bezugsrahmen für die charakteristischen Blöcke und Streifen des irisch-amerikanischen Künstlers Sean Scully ist breit gefächert. Von Malewitschs zentraler Prämisse, dass die Geometrie das Mittel für ein universelles Verständnis sein kann, bis hin zu Rothkos leidenschaftlicher Herangehensweise an die Farbe und die Darstellung des dramatisch Erhabenen, lernte Scully, wie man die Pracht der natürlichen Welt in einfachen Formen von Farbe, Licht und Komposition verdichtet. Der 1945 in Dublin geborene und in London aufgewachsene Scully war im figurativen Zeichnen gut geschult, als er beschloss, den Geist seines Vorbilds Henri Matisse aufzunehmen, indem er 1969 Marokko besuchte. Die schillernden Mosaike und reich gefärbten Stoffe zogen ihn in ihren Bann und er begann, Gitter und Farbstäbchen zu malen. Spätere Reisen lieferten weitere Inspirationen, denn das Spiel des intensiven Lichts auf den spiegelnden Oberflächen der Maya-Ruinen und der antiken Steinplatten von Stonehenge brachten das Gefühl von Licht, Raum und geometrischer Bewegung in Scullys Gemälde. Die Möglichkeit, die Auswirkungen von Scullys Reisen in seinen Gemälden nachzuvollziehen, bestätigt den Wert der abstrakten Kunst als Prüfstein für Erfahrungen im wirklichen Leben.


Mit seinen satten, tiefen Farbtönen und den geschichteten, nuancierten Oberflächen ist Grey Red sowohl poetisch als auch voll von muskulösem Formalismus. Scully bezeichnet diese elementaren Formen treffend als "Ziegelsteine", was an die formalen Berechnungen eines Architekten erinnert. Er erklärt: "Diese Beziehungen, die ich in den Türöffnungen der Straßen, in den Fenstern zwischen den Gebäuden und in den Spuren von Strukturen, die einst voller Leben waren, sehe, nehme ich für meine Arbeit. Ich verwende diese Farben und Formen und setze sie so zusammen, dass man vielleicht an etwas erinnert wird, obwohl man sich dessen nicht sicher ist" (David Carrier, Sean Scully, 2004, S. 98). Seine Herangehensweise ist organisch, weniger formelhaft; die intuitiven Entscheidungen des Malers schichten eine Farbe über die andere, so dass kontrastierende Farbtöne und Farben mit unterschwelliger Energie vibrieren. Bei seinem Streben nach strahlendem Licht kommt einem Diebenkorn in den Sinn. Aber hier schwingen die leuchtenden Bänder aus Terrakotta-Rot, Grau, Taupe und Schwarz von Grey Red mit einer tiefen, schwelenden Energie mit und rufen weitaus mehr berührende Leidenschaft hervor, als man es für möglich halten würde. Wie sein guter Freund Bono schrieb: "Sean geht an die Leinwand heran wie ein Kickboxer, ein Stuckateur, ein Baumeister. Die Qualität der Malerei schreit nach einem gelebten Leben".

"Meine Kunst basiert auf Unreinheit. Man muss Dinge aus verschiedenen raffinierten Kulturen mischen, um etwas Rohes zu erhalten, um es wieder in Gang zu bringen." - Sean Scully

MARKTEINBLICKE

  • Scully_Rekord
  • Scullys Auktionsrekord wurde im Mai 2022 aufgestellt, als Song, 1985, (links) für über 2 Millionen Dollar bei Sotheby's New York verkauft wurde.
  • Von den zehn besten Auktionsergebnissen von Scully wurden neun nach 2000 gemalt. Mehr noch, sieben dieser Top-Ten-Ergebnisse beziehen sich auf Kunstwerke, die nach 2010 datiert wurden, was beweist, dass die Nachfrage nach diesen zeitgenössischen Werken außergewöhnlich groß ist.
  • 2012 war ein besonders wichtiges Jahr für den Künstler, denn allein in diesem Jahr hatte er neun museale Einzelausstellungen in Institutionen wie dem Kunstmuseum Bern, dem Alhambra und dem Philadelphia Museum of Art.
  • 2012 war auch das Jahr, in dem Scully in die Royal Academy of Art aufgenommen wurde.

AUSSTELLUNGSGESCHICHTE

  • Schon kurz nach der Fertigstellung von Grey Redwurde das Gemälde in namhaften Ausstellungen gezeigt. 
  • Grey Red war die Nummer 847 im Katalog der 244. Sommerausstellung der Royal Academy of Arts.
  • Grey Red wurde 2012 in der Ausstellung "Sean Scully" in der Verey Gallery des Eton College in Windsor, England, gezeigt (rechts).
