Royal Curtain — Fine Art

Royal Curtain - 1980 by Gene Davis lays painted colour bands across the sheet. Each band holds one steady hue that steps to the next. The paint sits on a flat surface with sharp edges between the stripes.

The bands run in one direction across the whole sheet. This colour field painting period work uses flat colour stripe motif building. The fine art print sets the image in a frame with a back panel.

The matte surface keeps the flat colour bands soft and the edges stay sharp. It works on a dining room wall near a pendant lamp. From the doorway you notice the steady band rhythm first, then the separate hues up close.
