11 11 1996 1996 — Fine Art

11 11 1996 1996 is a painting in the abstract expressionist mode that Zao Wou-Ki worked in for decades. Broad strokes of ink and colour move across the surface, leaving soft edges and overlapping washes. The date in the title marks the year the painting was made.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. The matte paper keeps the soft greys and blurred edges calm, so the layers do not glare under a lamp.

In a bedroom, the painting hangs on the wall opposite the bed. From the pillow you see the loose bands of colour and the way the washes thin out toward the edges.
