Sean Scully

Sean Scully. Eleuthera

Sean Scully is primarily known for his highly expressive abstract paintings of colourful stripes or rectangles. For the first time, the ALBERTINA presents a series of works which show Scully from a new perspective. The series Eleuthera from the years 2015-2017 has a very private subject as main topic: it consists of 23 large-sized oil paintings which show Scully’s seven-year-old son Oisín playing at the beach on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.
