Splay — Fine Art

A hard line splits the sheet into two colour areas. The left band holds a red field and the right band holds a blue field, each with a clean edge against the ground.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. Splay - 1979 keeps the spaces open and the edges firm. The paint layers press into the sheet rather than sitting on top.

A metal hanger on the back goes straight onto a nail or screw, so the print goes up without a frame. A matte paper surface lets the reds and blues land without gloss under room light. It works on the upstairs landing wall where the light is flat and the eye reads the two colour bands from the top stair.
