Six in Light Orange with Red in Yellow — Fine Art

Six in Light Orange with Red in Yellow - 1970 shows a flat painted area with clear blocks of colour. The orange and yellow fields sit near each other, and a red shape breaks the edge between them. Patrick Heron worked with bold colour areas and careful edges in his painting practice.

A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel sits flat against the wall. The matte surface keeps the orange and red tones steady under room light, and the frame holds the paper steady so the colour blocks read without glare.

It fits above the bookshelf in a study, where the orange and red fields pull the eye across the shelf line. From the desk you see the colour edges clearly, and from the doorway the whole picture reads as a calm block of colour.
