Number 2 — Fine Art

Number 2 - 1954 by Kenzo Okada shows soft washes of colour laid over a worked ground. The marks sit beside each other in pale grey, cream and muted blue. Kenzo Okada built his abstract paintings from thin layers and quiet tones. The image moves slowly across the sheet.

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 pale tones soft and there is no shine under a lamp.

It works on a hallway wall where the light stays even. From the landing you see the broad colour areas, closer up the thin washes show through. The quiet layout fits a reading corner with bookshelves on one side.
