15 02 2001 2001 by Zao Wou-Ki — Fine Art

The painting 15 02 2001 2001 is signed across the front in the artist name and the date. Zao Wou-Ki worked with sweeping lines and thin washes of oil on canvas, building up soft veils of colour. The marks move across the surface in loose layers.

The fine art print keeps the soft edges and pale ground, so the thin layers read as they do on the original. A light frame sits on a dark wall, or a dark frame on a pale one. The paper is matte, so the greys stay soft under a lamp.

In a study, the print hangs on the wall above the desk. You see the broad sweeps from the chair, and the small shifts in tone when you lean over the work.
