Sean Scully: Wall Of Light

For more than thirty years, Scully has produced a vibrant and compelling body of work that is widely collected and internationally exhibited. His familiar signature style of lines or bands of colour, alluding to architectural elements such as portals, windows, and walls, is one of the most instantly recognisable in contemporary painting.

This book presents paintings, watercolours, and pastels from the artist's Wall of Light series. In the 1980s and 90s Scully embarked on a significant body of work following a number of trips to Mexico, entitled Wall of Light. In this series, Scully transcribed his experience of colour and light as he traveled through Mexico and witnessed the interplay of light and shadow on the stacked stones of ancient ruins and architectural formations. The resulting paintings combine colour and shape in a way that is airy and balanced. These paintings confirm Scully's position as one of the world's foremost painters.
