The artwork, titled “Wait” by Sean Scully, was created in 1986. It is associated with the Color Field Painting and Neo-Minimalism art movements and falls within the abstract genre.
In the artwork, Scully employs a composition that features alternating horizontal bands of color. Dominantly, the piece showcases stark white stripes juxtaposed with deep black bands, creating a rhythmic quality. At the bottom section of the painting, a prominent vertical brown stripe disrupts the continuity of the horizontal bands, set against a dark blue background. The texture of the paint appears varied, with visible brushstrokes adding depth and a tactile quality to the overall composition. This piece exemplifies the artist’s exploration of form, color, and spatial dynamics.
