Phenomena Wind Arch — Fine Art

Phenomena Wind Arch - 2009 by Paul Jenkins opens on a wide painted field with colour moving in slow bands from one side to the other. The paint sits in layered washes, and the lighter bands sit above the darker ones. The work belongs to the colour field painting tradition and the post war American painting period.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. You do not need a frame. The matte surface keeps the paint layers flat and stops a shine under a lamp.

It sits on the wall above the desk in a study. From the doorway you see the broad bands of paint meet the pale ground, and from the chair you notice the small shifts between the layers.
