"Desire (G.S.A. 85004)" is a softground etching in colours by Sean Scully, a technique that allows the artist to create rich, nuanced tonal variations and gestural marks characteristic of his abstract work. Printed on Arches paper and presented with full margins, the print demonstrates Scully's characteristic use of colour and layered compositional elements that reference both abstraction and landscape traditions. The work's catalog designation and archival presentation reflect its place within Scully's substantial body of printmaking, an area in which he has explored the expressive possibilities of etching since the 1980s.
