Sean Scully, Landline Art@Site

'The marble is a natural material that is taken from the ground and has, as a consequence, a profound relationship with Nature. The colours that I’ve chosen serve to reflect the everchanging, quixotic nature of the London sky, which informs the daily ambiance of Hanover Square, where people live and work.'

The sculpture brings together layers of colored marble into a single compressed tower that reflects the deep layers and sediments of history and lived experiences of the diverse people that Hanover Square and London’s West End represents. The selected marbles translate the layered landscape of Hanover Square itself, the new gardens and surrounding buildings - the grey, sand and ochre of the footways and buildings, and the greens and blue-greens of the trees. Compressed together they create a chord that reflects the musical history of the area - the Hanover Music Rooms and Handel’s connections with Brook Street and St George’s Church.

Landline consists of several marble slabs, polished and compressed into a single square tower that reflects the deep layers and sediments of the history of the place and its inhabitants. The marbles translate the layered landscape of Hanover Square itself, with buildings and the garden in shades of grey, ochre, greens, blue-greens, and sand. Together, they create a chord reflective of the place and its natural environment.

Over the course of his 50-year career, Sean Scully has created an influential body of work that has changed the development of contemporary abstraction. Often structured around stripes or layered blocks of colour arranged on horizontal and vertical axes, the layers in his paintings attain a fine balance between calm reflection and an intrinsic vitality.

Hanover Square was one of the first formal open spaces to be laid out in London during the Georgian period, began in 1714 and built between 1717-19. Over the past 10 years, the Square has undergone a complete transformation to prepare for the arrival of the Elizabeth Line and a new entrance for Bond
Street Station.
