Beschreibung:
Sean Scully (b. 1945, Dublin) is celebrated internationally for his impressive contribution to abstract painting over the past half a century. This is his first exhibition in Hong Kong. Now dividing his time between New York, Germany and Spain, Scully?s journey with the languages of abstraction has evolved into a veritable odyssey, the horizontals and horizons perhaps pursued most clearly today in Scully?s ongoing series Landline, which brings ideas of abstraction into dialogue with the landscape.0Alongside several notable examples from this series, the exhibition also includes works from another major series Wall of Light, which began in 1998 and brought together horizontal and vertical bars in part inspired by several trips by the artist to Mexico since the early 1980s, and the remarkable qualities of light he observed falling on ancient stone walls there.00Exhibition: Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong, China (28.3 - 29.4.2018)
