Sean Scully (b. 1945, Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish-born American-based painter and printmaker who has twice been named a Turner Prize nominee. His work is collected in major museums worldwide. Scully's paintings are abstract and often made up of a number of panels. He paints in oils, sometimes laying the paint on quite thick to create textured surfaces. He frequently employs rectangular shapes in his compositions that he refers to as bricks. These visual building blocks were originally inspired by the Mayan ruins and the megaliths and stone walls of the artist’s native Ireland—examples of humankind’s enduring accomplishments, interconnectedness and our relationship to our ever-present past and future.
