Mag — Fine Art

The title Mag - 1986 points to a field of broad shapes laid on a flat ground, in the abstract painting practice of Doug Ohlson. He often built these washes with thin layers and soft edges, so the forms sit together without hard borders. The surface reads as one calm field.

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 tones even under a lamp, so the washes stay flat and quiet.

It works on a study wall near a desk. From the chair you notice the slow shifts between one shape and the next, and the pale ground stays open without any shine.
