Cheim & Read has launched a new exhibition space in Ridgewood, Queens, featuring Sean Scully's paintings from the early 1970s. The show includes Grid (1973), a 96 x 96 inch acrylic on canvas work that blends formal grids with layered patterns, evoking a sense of domestic familiarity. These pieces, displayed in a renovated warehouse, juxtapose Scully's disciplined abstraction with emotional resonance. The location in an industrial area of Queens connects the art to the surrounding creative community. The exhibition highlights the artist's foundational period, emphasizing how his structured compositions convey personal observation.
