Aquatint, Spit bite and sugar lift on paper - Signed, Dated and Numbered // Sean Scully’s Red Fold is an aquatint that exemplifies his exploration of geometric abstraction through layered textures and earthy tones. The composition is divided into rectangular blocks of color—muted reds, oranges, blacks, and grays—arranged in a structured, grid-like pattern. The soft, blurred edges of the color fields suggest movement and depth, a hallmark of Scully’s technique that blends the rigidity of geometry with the fluidity of color application. Created using aquatint, spit bite, and sugar lift techniques, the print combines precision with a painterly quality. Signed, dated, and numbered, Red Fold reflects Scully’s interest in the tension between form and emotion, structure and spontaneity.

What is lyrical abstraction ?
Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
