The artwork “Bridge,” created by Sean Scully in 1991, belongs to the genres of Color Field Painting and Neo-Minimalism, and it is classified as abstract art. This composition features a series of rectangular and linear forms, each layered or positioned in distinct areas, displaying a deliberate play of colors and textures. The upper section contains a red and orange striped rectangular shape set against a dark gray background. Below it, there is a sequence of three vertical bands in yellow-green and teal, imbued with a painterly texture. The lower part of the artwork consists of a predominantly red horizontal panel with streaks of yellow over a foundational black area. The interplay of colors and forms in this piece exemplifies the nuanced simplicity and contemplative nature of Scully’s approach to abstract expression.
