The artwork titled “Backs Fronts Windows” by Sean Scully, created in 1993, belongs to the Color Field Painting and Neo-Geo art movements and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork utilizes a horizontal composition comprising a series of rectangular forms and lines. These forms are rendered in various colors, including shades of orange, yellow, black, and gray, combined with simpler hues like red and green. Intricate textures are visible within the blocks, with patterns that range from closely spaced lines to broader, more diffuse strokes. The central part of the composition features vertical and horizontal lines, creating alternating bands of color, emphasizing form and depth through juxtapositions of adjacent colors and shapes. The interaction of these elements generates a dynamic visual rhythm, inviting the viewer to explore the complexity embedded within seemingly simple abstractions.
