Faraway 1970 — Fine Art

Faraway 1970 by Esteban Vicente shows a pale field broken by soft rectangular marks. The colours sit low on the surface and the shapes step back from one another. Vicente built his abstract paintings from thin painted layers and simple forms, and the picture fits that practice.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The white frame gives the picture a clean edge that sits away from the pale ground. On dark wood or black the same edge cuts harder. The frame keeps the rectangular shapes from drifting into the wall.

In a study the viewer notices the small shifts between the tones first, then the wider blocks. On a reading corner wall the same marks read as quiet blocks of tone.
