Sean Scully: Dark Yet - Paperback

by Sean Scully (Artist), Sean Rainbird (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

Scully's signature, earth-toned horizontal strata find new, shimmering depths when painted on aluminum and rendered in aquatint

This book, Dark Yet, presents recent abstractions by Sean Scully (born 1945) that build on two decades-long series with a new painterly freedom: Walls of colored blocks vibrantly stacked on the picture plane, and Landlines forming strata of gloriously earthy colors. Graphic works based on a loose netlike pattern add a more pervious kind of visual delicacy.
