Untitled 1979Fine Art

Untitled 1979 sets thick black outlines against a pale ground. Red and yellow fill the shapes between the lines. The colours sit flat and close together, with no shading inside the forms. Each shape keeps the same tone across its whole area.

fine art paper takes the ink without glare, so the red and yellow stay even under a lamp. The frame finish can follow the room, with a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. The shapes stay clear because the paper does not reflect light back into the room.

It fits a hallway wall where people pass at a steady pace. From the landing you see the black outlines first, then the red and yellow as you step closer. The marks stay sharp even when the hallway light is low.
