<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A contemporary master abstractionist responds to a Venetian Renaissance masterpiece</strong></p><p>This generous volume gathers recent works and new, unseen pieces by celebrated New York-based Irish abstract artist Sean Scully (born 1945), who has created a series of new sculptures, paintings, drawings and watercolors directly inspired by the Venetian abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore, its vast illuminated manuscript collections and the 16th-century Benedictine church. These works are instantly recognizable for Scully's visual vocabulary of horizontal and vertical stripes, which reflects fifty years of constant refining. <i>Human</i> includes paintings from his <i>Madonna</i> series, Scully's return to figuration after having ceased figurative painting five decades ago. <p/>The fulcrum of the volume is the new and impressive <i>Opulent Ascension</i>, a site-specific sculpture that is Scully's tallest sculpture ever at 33 feet high, constructed from stacked frames, each wrapped in rich and varying colors of felt.</p>
