Episode — Fine Art

Episode by Jean Dubuffet shows rough painted marks piled up on a plain field of colour. A black band holds the eye near the centre, then the eye drops to the loose white shapes below. The painting keeps a large quiet area around those marks, so the busy head and the calm space sit side by side.

This fine art print sits inside a white frame, and the plain edge lines up with the flat side of the picture. The white finish gives the page a clear border against the painted marks, so the rough head does not drift off the edge.

Hang it in a kitchen over the cooking table. From the doorway you see the broad painted shapes first, then the small white bits when you pass by. The frame edge reads clean beside the white tiles.
