  • HIP TO BE SQUARE WITH SEAN SCULLY AT KERLIN

    Wall Plena (2021) by Sean Scully at Kerlin Gallery in Dublin

    The squares of Sean Scully are legendary. They grace major museums and have enhanced exhibitions right around the world.  The artist regarded as among the most important proponents of abstraction has paid enormous attention to this particular structure. Square at Kerlin Gallery in Dublin from May 14 to June 25 will bring together over 50 years of oil paintings, watercolours, drawings, sculpture, writings and prints from 1968 by Sean Scully.

    There are measured grid paintings from the 1970’s, his Wall of Light series and the recent Dark Window series made during lockdown.  Square will include a new series of prints and drawings made with the artist’s finger on an iPhone screen.  These playful drawings teem with life and energy. The creative potential of the screen is driving major artists more and more, among them David Hockney, who has produced a fascinating series of screen artworks.
