No.18 — Fine Art

Large colour blocks sit on the sheet as a few soft bands of red and dark tones. The marks spread out and blur at the edges. From across a room the shapes hold together, and up close you notice the fading paint at the borders. No.18 - 1951 reads this way on the page.

This fine art print sits inside a frame that gives the picture a clear edge. The black finish keeps the frame line quiet against the red and dark colours, so the bands can do the work without a bright border stealing attention.

It hangs on a bedroom wall above a low bedspread. From the doorway the broad colour blocks read as two simple masses, and from the bed you see the way the paint thins at the lower edge.
