4.5.68 — Fine Art

The title 4.5.68 - 1968 points to a painted surface built from broad fields of colour and a few heavy marks. John Hoyland often worked in this way, laying paint over a ground and letting edges stay uneven.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The frame is finished in white, wood, dark wood or black. A clear edge around the image separates it from the wall and gives the picture a steady line.

It works on the wall of a study above a wooden desk. From the desk you see the big colour areas first, and in the room light the small marks pick up a little detail. You notice the painting settles into the space without pushing against the furniture.
