St. Albans — Fine Art

The title St Albans points to a place, and the sheet holds broad washes of colour laid by Sam Gilliam. The paint runs in loose bands that do not line up evenly. Some areas stay thin and open, while others build into a heavier tone.

A fine art frame sits around the print, with a finish that can follow the room. A light frame on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. The matte paper keeps the greys soft and there is no shine under a lamp.

It fits a study wall where you stand at a desk and look up. From the chair the big bands read first, and from the desk the small variation in the wash comes into view.
