Mirror Object 1973 by Blinky Palermo — Fine Art

Mirror Object 1973 by Blinky Palermo belongs to the material painting practice that shaped late twentieth century art. The work uses simple geometric forms and a restrained palette, with shapes arranged against a plain ground.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. A frame finish can follow the room, such as a light frame on a dark wall or a dark frame on a pale wall. The matte paper keeps the softer tones soft and there is no shine under a lamp.

It suits a narrow hallway where the shapes read over the top of a coat hook from a standing position. The viewer notices the plain ground first, then the geometry fills the space at that height.
