The artwork, titled “Raval Rojo,” was created by the artist Sean Scully in 2004. It falls under the category of abstract art and is associated with the Color Field Painting movement. This artwork is a distinctive example of the genre, demonstrating the use of large, solid areas of flat color.
“Raval Rojo” showcases a structured arrangement of rectangular forms in varying shades. The dominant colors within the composition include deep reds, blacks, and earthy tones, interspersed with a striking yellow and subtle hints of orange. These colors are applied in broad, textured strokes which give the piece a dynamic yet harmonious quality. The interplay of light and dark, warm and cool, and the meticulous balance of form create an engaging visual rhythm characteristic of Sean Scully’s abstract work.
