Night Scene — Fine Art

The title tells you the work was made at night, in 1982. The picture runs along a dark ground with bands of colour laid down in long strokes. It belongs to the abstract painting of the period, where the surface is built from repeated passes.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. A white frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. The white sits clean against the dark ground and keeps the bands from running off the edge. The frame keeps the image contained and easy to read.

It works on a bedroom wall where the light is low most of the day. From the foot of the bed you see the broad bands, and when you pass the wall you notice the thin lines between them. The room stays simple around it.
