Untitled — Fine Art

Gene Davis painted stripes for years, and Untitled - 1985 belongs to that same band painting practice. The picture uses painted colour bands that step across the sheet in one direction. Each band holds one steady hue. The bands move in a single steady line.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. A white frame gives Untitled - 1985 a clean edge on the wall. The white finish keeps the separate bands easy to read and leaves the stripes clearly set apart from the wall.

On a hallway wall near the front door, the painted stripes lead your eye from one end to the other. You notice the change from one hue to the next as you walk past.
