Phenomena Pointed East — Fine Art

The poured colour bands in Phenomena Pointed East move across the paper in a fluid wash. Paul Jenkins used this pour painting technique, letting pigment settle and leave soft edges. The marks read like a colour field study, built up in layers rather than drawn.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. A light frame on a dark wall keeps the pale ground from fading back. The same frame beside wooden furniture follows the tone of the wood. You see the washed bands best in a steady room light.

In a hallway with a pale wall, the dark frame holds its own. From the landing you notice the broad bands first, then the thin streaks of pigment below.
