Phenomena Lasting Dawn — Fine Art

Phenomena Lasting Dawn - 1977 opens on a broad painted field where a slow wash of colour moves across the page. The eye finds the lighter tone near the top and settles where the paint thins out. Paul Jenkins worked with fluid washes and poured paint in his practice.

The paper is matte, so the colour stays even and there is no shine under a lamp. A metal hanger is fitted to the back and goes straight onto a nail or screw. You can put this fine art print up without a frame.

It fits on a bedroom wall beside a plain door frame. From the bed you see the wide colour field, and up close the thin changes in tone.
