Untitled 1975

This 'Untitled' print was made by Sean Scully, its a sea of earthy browns, a grid as comforting as your favourite worn-in shirt. I can almost feel the artist's focus here, laying down each square, building up this warm, rhythmic pattern. What was he thinking as he worked? Maybe he was considering Agnes Martin and her grids, or Sol Lewitt and his conceptual structures. Scully’s are different, though, less cool, more human. I like the way the colors shift – subtle variations that give the whole thing a pulse. It’s not just a flat surface; it feels like there’s space in there, like you could fall into it. It reminds me of the way the light changes in Mark Rothko’s paintings, how they seem to breathe and change. Artists are always in dialogue, borrowing, responding, pushing each other further, it’s a beautiful thing.
