Sean Scully Explains His Art

I am posting this video about Sean Scully because I like its quality. I've always admired Scully's work and he definitely "owns" stripes so that no other artist dare approach them. I am just completing a 4'x 5' painting for my house. In deciding what to paint on the canvas I was influenced by the death of my cat, a cat that was one of those one-person cats.


I started my painting soon after he passed, and he'd had a difficult final three months of life. Once he "flew away" I knew my painting had to be abstract, maya, illusion, representative of an underlying structure of reality.
