Sean Scully Exhibition at Cheim & Read in Ridgewood

Sean Scully's exhibition at Cheim & Read's Ridgewood location opened on June 2, 2016. The gallery presented new works by the Irish-born painter, known for his abstract compositions of stripes and blocks. Scully's practice explores color, texture, and architectural form through layered canvases. This show marked a significant presentation of his recent output in New York. Cheim & Read, which represents Scully, operates spaces in Manhattan and the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens. The exhibition was documented by artcritical, an online publication covering contemporary art. The gallery's programming focuses on established and emerging artists working in painting, sculpture, and photography. Scully's work is held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Tate Modern.
