Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - 1980 by Ray Parker shows broad painted areas with soft edges and a quiet mix of dark tones. The surface carries a steady rhythm of marks that run across the sheet without crowding it. Nothing in the picture points to a subject outside itself.

This fine art print sits on a matte sheet that holds the greyer passages without glare. The frame finish can follow the room, so a dark frame on a pale wall keeps the edges clear, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture links the surface to the furniture nearby.

It reads well on a dining room wall near a table, where the broad painted shapes sit above the back of a chair. From the doorway you notice the darker tones first, and from the table you notice the quieter marks between them.
