"I paint in layers and the borders are complex and undefined. This lends my pictures a genuine connection to time and work: a real person created them, investing real time, real work, and real exploration [..]. I use stripes, bands, lines, and checkerboard patterns to create rhythm. I always want to create new combinations, figures, and connections that are like the rhythm of the music of life [..]."
Sean Scully, 1996, quoted from: Kirsten Claudia Voigt (ed.), Inner. Gesammelte Schriften und ausgewählte Interviews von Sean Scully, Berlin 2018, p. 54.
