Although his abstract works appear to have no specific reference, Scully’s previous employment as a typesetter had a great bearing on his later artistic outputs, and of his Land Sea exhibition, Scully noted that his experience of visiting Venice was a major influence as he sought to recreate ‘the movement of the water, how it heaves against the brick and stone of the city’;

« When I got into art school, I thought it was paradise. I wanted to be an artist so much that I was really driven and nothing could stop me. »
Sean Scully

What is lyrical abstraction ?

Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
