Peinture 18 Mars 2010 — Fine Art

Peinture 18 Mars 2010 shows a single dark field applied in broad strokes. The name of Pierre Soulages points to a practice of working with black paint and the light it returns. The surface holds a steady tone across the page.

This fine art print keeps the black tones flat on matte paper, so the surface reads as one quiet plane. A light frame lets the dark colour sit without competing on the wall.

In a hallway with a pale coat of paint, the print hangs higher than the door handle. From the landing you catch the full dark shape, while standing near it you notice the brush texture.
