Myth and the American Story of Abstract Expressionism: Two Reflections on Sean Scully
No full textSean Scully is a cosmopolitan artist. An Irish-American citizen who grew up in the United Kingdom, and who has spent considerable amounts of time across the world, his work — most often characterised as Abstract Expressionism — can still be said to be American in its aesthetics. There was a recent retrospective of his work at the Bucerius Kunst Forum in Hamburg. James Dowthwaite and Natalie Erkel, as contributors to this volume and residents of the city, went to the exhibition
The artist seeking humane values in the mechanized world ” Sean Scully
Full text linkThis research aims to analyze the originality in which Sean Scully caught using geometrical abstract forms with the details and his contemporary approach in seeking for humanistic values. The artist believing that it is impossible to escape from abstraction for our age draws attention of the art critics with the density of details in his paintings and the emphasis upon humanistic values in recent years. He considers it necessary to reflect human sensation, human sensibility in mechanizing world more than absolute formal elements such as color, form, line. His approaching to the horizontal-vertical quadrangle forms adding an extraordinary amount of sensational density and his highlighting the spiritual side of the art which has become complicated nowadays with the help of his paintings and writings are of the important reasons for analyzing him

Angles on Aran: constructing connection in the work of J.M. Synge, Robert Flaherty and Sean Scully
Full text linkThis article focuses on three Irish diasporic representations of the Aran Islands, and is innovative in analysing all three in the light of recent cultural theory, especially around postmemory and postmodernity. In particular, the paintings and photographs of Irish-British artist Sean Scully, especially Walls of Aran (2007), are given a first appraisal in this light. Further angles on Aran, and contexts for Scully’s work, are provided by Man of Aran by Irish-American filmmaker Robert Flaherty (1934), and the photographic and literary representations of Aran produced by Anglo-Irish Ascendancy writer J.M. Synge between 1898 and 1902. The works are analysed in relation to a tradition of colonialist and nationalist primitivism and the essay builds a picture of diasporic romanticism that spans three quite different historical moments

Sean Scully: la dimensión humanística de la pintura abstracta
Full text linkEsta tesis doctoral es el primer estudio monográfico que se ha realizado en España acerca del artista. Su presencia en nuestro pais resulta altamente significativa, no solo pòr tener un estudio en Barcelon, sino también porque ha mantenido una continuidad expositiva en diversas ciudades españoals. Todo ello pone de relieve la conveniencia del presente proyecto en el contexto académico de los estudios de artes visuales. En general podemos decir que su pintura es abstracta, con una estructura formal compuesta por rectángulos, cuadrados y líneas verticales y horizontales, que junto al tratamiento del color mediante el uso de complementarios, fríos y cálidos, y las diferentes texturas resultantes de la disposición de múltiples capas de pintura sobre el lienzo, confiere a las obras una plasticidad que reconcilia el orden y la emoción. El pintor se ve a si mismo y a su obra dentro de una práctica específica y apunta más que nada a una determinada actitud, que informa de su labor artística. Es obvio que su obra, culta y expresiva, deriva hacia un lenguaje abstracto que posee una rigurosa estructura y un humanismo que desemboca en una pintura accesible y profunda a la vez.
En la primera parte de la investigación se analizan los antecedentes pictóricos con respecto a su obra, los orígenes e influencias con diversos artistas que forman parte de la tradición abstracta, desde principios del siglo XX hasta los años ochenta. En la segunda parte se estudian los principios compositivos de sus pinturas, desde la década de los setenta hasta la actualidad, así como una recopilación de artistas contemporáneos relacionados con la obra de Scully. La tercera parte trata de la dimensión humanística que el artista aporta con su pintura a diferentes cuestiones como la geometría y las técnicas pictóricas, donde podemos encontrar un estudio del color, mediante un análisis de la paleta cromática, así como los distintos soportes y formatos utilizados en sus obras: también se alude a las acuarelMaestro Grau, MC.

The artist seeking humane values in the mechanized world "Sean Scully"
No full textBu araştırma, ülkemizde pek de bilinmeyen Sean Scully’nin, geometrik soyut biçimleri kullanarak ayrıntılarla yakaladığı özgünlüğünü, insani değerleri aramadaki çağdaş yaklaşımını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Soyutlamanın çağımız için de kaçınılmaz olduğuna inanan sanatçı, resimlerindeki ayrıntıların yoğunluğu ve insani değerlere yaptığı vurgu ile son yıllarda sanat eleştirmenlerinin dikkatini çeker. Renk, biçim, çizgi gibi salt biçimsel elemanlardan çok, mekanikleşen dünyada, insan duygusunu, insan duyarlığını yansıtabilmeyi gerekli görür. Yatay-dikey dörtgen biçimlere alışılmışın dışında bir duygu yoğunluğu katarak ele alışı ile günümüzde karmaşık hale gelen sanatın tinsel yönünü resimleri ve yazıları ile öne çıkarması Scully’i araştırmanın önemli nedenlerindendir.This research aims to analyze the originality in which Sean Scully caught using geometrical abstract forms with the details and his contemporary approach in seeking for humanistic values. The artist believing that it is impossible to escape from abstraction for our age draws attention of the art critics with the density of details in his paintings and the emphasis upon humanistic values in recent years.
