SEAN SCULLY (b. 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.

"Ces relations que je vois dans les embrasures de porte des rues, dans les fenêtres entre les bâtiments et dans les traces de structures qui étaient autrefois pleines de vie, je les prends pour mon travail. J'utilise ces couleurs et ces formes et je les assemble d'une manière qui vous rappelle peut-être quelque chose, même si vous n'en êtes pas sûr" - Sean Scully

Histoire

Le cadre de référence des blocs et des rayures caractéristiques de l'Irlando-américain Sean Scully est vaste. De l'hypothèse centrale de Malevich selon laquelle la géométrie peut fournir les moyens d'une compréhension universelle à l'approche passionnée de Rothko en matière de couleur et de rendu du sublime dramatique, Scully a appris à condenser la splendeur du monde naturel dans des modes simples de couleur, de lumière et de composition. Né à Dublin en 1945 et élevé à Londres, Scully était bien formé au dessin figuratif lorsqu'il décida de retrouver l'esprit de son modèle, Henri Matisse, en visitant le Maroc en 1969. Il est captivé par les éblouissantes mosaïques en tesselles et les tissus richement teints et commence à peindre des grilles et des stipes de couleur. Ses aventures ultérieures ont été une source d'inspiration supplémentaire : le jeu de lumière intense sur les surfaces réfléchissantes des ruines mayas et les anciennes dalles de pierre de Stonehenge ont apporté la sensation de lumière, d'espace et de mouvement géométrique aux peintures de Scully. La capacité de retracer l'impact des voyages de Scully à travers ses peintures réaffirme la valeur de l'art abstrait comme pierre de touche de l'expérience de la vie réelle.


Peint dans des teintes riches et profondes, avec des surfaces superposées et nuancées, Grey Red est à la fois poétique et empreint d'un formalisme musclé. Scully qualifie à juste titre ces formes élémentaires de "briques", suggérant les calculs formels d'un architecte. Comme il l'explique, "ces relations que je vois dans les embrasures des rues, dans les fenêtres entre les bâtiments et dans les traces de structures qui étaient autrefois pleines de vie, je m'en inspire pour mon travail. J'utilise ces couleurs et ces formes et je les assemble d'une manière qui vous rappelle peut-être quelque chose, sans que vous en soyez sûr" (David Carrier, Sean Scully, 2004, p. 98). Son approche est organique, moins formelle ; les choix du peintre intuitif consistent à superposer une couleur sur une autre de manière à ce que les teintes et les couleurs contrastées vibrent d'une énergie subliminale. Diebenkorn nous vient à l'esprit dans sa recherche d'une lumière rayonnante. Mais ici, les bandes rayonnantes de rouge terracotta, de gris, de taupe et de noir de Grey Red résonnent d'une énergie profonde et brûlante et évoquent une passion bien plus touchante que ce que l'on pourrait croire. Comme l'a écrit son ami Bono, "Sean aborde la toile comme un kickboxeur, un plâtrier, un bâtisseur. La qualité de ses peintures témoigne d'une vie vécue".

"Mon art est basé sur l'impureté. Il faut mélanger des choses issues de différentes cultures raffinées pour obtenir quelque chose de brut, pour le faire repartir." - Sean Scully
