Sean Scully in Conversation with Deborah Solomon, New York, 24 January

13 January 2026

RSVP Here

On 24 January, Lisson Gallery presents Sean Scully in conversation with Deborah Solomon at the artist’s studio, to coincide with the closing of Sean Scully: Tower at Lisson New York.

Deborah Solomon is an esteemed journalist and writer and expert on Sean Scully's work. The eponymous new series of Tower paintings represents a radical departure and a bold dismantling of Scully's practice, each being formed from a concatenation of smaller, individual panels, seemingly employing different styles and diverse moments from his own painterly back catalogue. Through the disorder and disjuncture of these tessellating panels, incorporating gaps, overlaps and holes, comes a newfound harmony and rhythm, that also references an earlier, spiritual era of art – such as the perspectival depth and world building found in Quattrocento Italy – as well as the rupture of modern art – in Analytic Cubism or Lucio Fontana’s pierced surfaces, for example.

Saturday, 24 January at 11AM
