Harlequinade Harlequin with Columbine — Fine Art

Harlequinade Harlequin with Columbine - 1990 shows a harlequin figure beside a columbine figure, painted in the pop art style of Mark Lancaster. The shapes sit on a plain ground, with colour blocks set one beside another. The tones stay separate and the edges read clearly.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The paper is matte, so the light greys stay soft and there is no shine under a lamp. A light frame on a dark wall lets the harlequin colours come forward. A dark frame on a pale wall keeps the background from fading out.

It hangs on a stairwell wall, seen from the turn of the stairs. From that distance the two figures read as clear shapes, and the small marks in the clothes show up in the side light.
