Horizons ouverts by Jean — Fine Art

Horizons ouverts shows horizontal bands of blue and green laid down in broad strokes. The paint sits thick on the surface, with edges where the brush lifted and left breaks. Jean-Paul Riopelle built this kind of landscape mark by mark, not as a smooth field.

A white frame gives Horizons ouverts a clean border on the wall. The white edge keeps the blue bands set apart from the paint around it. This fine art print uses matte paper so the darker strokes stay flat and do not shine.

It sits on a kitchen wall near the fridge, where the morning light hits the blue bands first. From the counter you see the thick paint lines, and the white frame keeps them clear against the tiles.
