ABOUT
Conceived for the gallery space in Salzburg, the exhibition brings together large-scale paintings from the artist’s most formative series as well as a selection of watercolours and a monumental sculpture titled Indoor Sleeper (2020), presented in the gallery’s outdoor space. Scully’s works are characterized by the fusion of European painting traditions with the distinct character of American abstraction and, although strictly abstract, his artworks are always informed by experience and sensation. As he has stated: ‘My work deliberately includes the roughness of life. I’m always relating my work to the real world’.
