Created during a period when Jenkins was deeply influenced by the interplay of color and light, this work exemplifies his unique approach to abstract painting, which often involved pouring paint onto canvas to create luminous, ethereal effects.
The painting's title, Side Of St George, suggests a connection to the legendary figure of Saint George, though Jenkins' interpretation is far from literal.

Jenkins' technique of allowing paint to flow and blend organically on the canvas results in a work that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
