The artwork, titled “Yellow Figure,” was created by Sean Scully in 2002. It belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is classified within the abstract genre.
In this artwork, one observes a composition dominated by rectangular, colorful blocks arranged horizontally and vertically. At the center, there is a repeated pattern of grey and yellow blocks positioned in an alternating sequence, creating a compelling visual rhythm. Adjacent to these, a series of lighter grey and beige blocks are observed, contributing to the structural balance of the piece. The background is rendered in a deep, rich red hue, which enhances the contrast and emphasizes the interlocking forms of the blocks. The overall effect is both harmoniously balanced and striking, reflecting the artist’s profound engagement with color and form.
