20.5.74 — Fine Art

Broad colour strokes sit on a flat surface in 20.5.74 - 1974. The artist John Hoyland built his abstract paintings with big areas of paint and a few crossing lines.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The numbers in the title point to a date, and the picture keeps that plain feeling. A white frame gives the image a clean edge on the wall. The frame finish stays light against the darker painted sections, so the picture reads as a single field.

The print sits on paper with a matte surface, which holds the soft tone of the painted areas without shine. A kitchen wall works well here. From the table you see the broad colour bands across the top half, and the small painted marks below stay clear when you pass by.
