Sean Scully: Smaller Than The Sky

The exhibition Smaller Than The Sky will showcase Scully’s outdoor sculptures alongside works in other media. Scully's powerful paintings will be displayed among the ornate interiors of the house, with a selection of work on paper and key works that reference earlier stages in his career, hung in the North Colonade and Contemporary Gallery.

Sculptures include monumental, open structures in steel, such as Crate of Air, and a new work: Wall of Light, constructed from locally sourced limestone that sit purposefully within the English landscape. The new work encompassed by the exhibition include stacks made of sandstone, wood, glass and marble. There will also be small-scale maquettes showing the artist's development process.
