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 Colour Field Painting?
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
