Phenomena Lands End — Fine Art

Phenomena Lands End - 1974 opens on a wide painted field with light colours moving in slow bands across the page. The eye enters at the centre where the paint thins and the edges soften.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. Paul Jenkins painted in this fluid way, letting washes settle and drift. A thin wood frame beside a wooden table keeps the picture calm on the wall.

The matte paper holds the greys without shine, so the colour bands stay quiet near a desk lamp. It works on a stairwell wall where you pass it each day. From the steps you see the broad colour bands, and from the landing you notice the thin white lines between them.
