'''Sean Scully''' {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|RA}} (born 30 June 1945) is an Irish-born American-based artist working as a painter, [[printmaker]], sculptor and photographer. His work is held in museum collections worldwide and he has twice been named a [[Turner Prize]] nominee. Moving from London to New York in 1975, Scully helped lead the transition from [[Minimalism (visual arts)|Minimalism]] to [[Emotional abstraction]] in painting, abandoning the reduced vocabulary of Minimalism in favour of a return to metaphor and spirituality in art.

Scully has also been a lecturer and professor at a number of universities and his writing and teachings are collected in the 2016 book ''Inner: The Collected Writings and Selected Interviews of Sean Scully.''
