Sweet Carburetor — Fine Art

A row of painted colour bands steps across this sheet in one direction. Sweet Carburetor - 1969 sets each band to a steady hue as the eye travels along the stripes.

The bands hold one flat tone before the next begins. Gene Davis used this stripe practice for years, laying hard edge colour bands in colour field painting.

The work arrives as a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. Where you might hang it: on a pale wall in a study, the long lines run toward the desk and the flat tones stay clear under the lamp.
