Embroidered Halo — Fine Art

Embroidered Halo - 1958 by Adja Yunkers sets a soft ring against a muted ground. The painted area reads like stitched cloth, with edges that hold a slight unevenness. Adja Yunkers worked with colour and gesture across painting and print, and this image stays close to that way of working.

The fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel, so the picture stays flat and the edges stay covered. A matte surface keeps the ring tones from shining under a lamp and makes the painted ring hold its soft pull.

On a hallway wall near a coat hook the ring catches the small light from the landing. You see the soft band first, then the gentler tone behind it as you pass by.
