Aran 2005

"Aran", a black and white photograph by Sean Scully, captures a simple yet powerful scene of a stone wall in Ireland. Taken in 2005, the photograph focuses on the texture and composition of the wall, highlighting the rough, irregular shapes of the stones. The starkness of the black and white medium emphasizes the inherent beauty of the subject, drawing attention to the wall's structure and the play of light and shadow across its surface. Scully's photograph, a testament to his fascination with the landscapes and textures of his Irish heritage, exemplifies his artistic exploration of abstract forms in the natural world.
