Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery Opens Sean Scully ‘To Feel’ Exhibition of New Wall of Light Works
The Facts
On August 21, 2026, Thaddaeus Ropac announced an exhibition of new works by Irish-American painter Sean Scully titled 'To Feel'. The 81-year-old artist presents new pieces from his 'Wall of Light' series, which he began in 1998, featuring oil paintings and watercolours with horizontal and vertical blocks of colour in dark bars, bright blue, pink, rust-red and yellow. Scully attended the opening, interacted with gallery founder Thaddaeus Ropac, and signed catalogues for visitors.
The Signal
The exhibition reinforces Scully's enduring focus on the 'Wall of Light' motif, a series that has defined his career for nearly three decades. For collectors, the new works offer a continuation of a mature, market-proven body of work, while the gallery's sustained representation underscores Scully’s institutional and commercial standing. The show's intimate presentation and the artist's direct engagement with attendees signal a commitment to building long-term relationships with collectors.
