Sean Scully’s Red Fold aquatint, abstract composition of red, orange, black, and gray rectangular blocks with blurred edges.

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 Hard Edge Art?

Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
