Ferris Wheel — Fine Art

Ferris Wheel - 1980 opens with painted bands of colour laid one after another across the sheet. Gene Davis built the picture from flat colour stripes that step through different hues in a steady rhythm. The marks run in long horizontal lines, each band a single flat colour next to the next.

This fine art piece 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 smooth paper holds the flat colour bands without a shine, so the stripes stay clear and even under a lamp.

In a dining room, the broad colour stripes read from the table as a calm band of colour across the wall. From the doorway you see the long horizontal lines step through their colours one after another.
