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 geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
