Untitled — Fine Art

Broad colour washes spread across a pale field in this Untitled work. The paint sits in open layers, with thin edges where the pigment thins out. Sam Francis built his paintings with fluid acrylic and watercolour on a large scale. The image stays open, with room to see each layer separately.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame is needed. The matte surface keeps the washed tones from reflecting, so the darker pools stay deep.

On a landing wall, the washes read as broad bands from the bottom of the stairs. You notice the thin pale edges first, then the two darker pools near the centre. The metal hanger takes the weight, and the sheet sits level without a frame.
