Survivor Man 17.08.08 — Fine Art

Survivor Man 17.08.08 - 2008 by John Hoyland shows broad painted shapes laid across a worked surface. The colours press into one another with hard edges where the brush stops. A hand applies the paint in layers, leaving traces of the tool in the paint.

The layer beneath stays visible in places where the top colour is thin. This fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel. It arrives assembled when you choose the ready to hang option. The paper keeps the broad colour areas flat and holds the hard edges of the marks.

The framed print suits a bedroom wall over the bed. You see the main colour block first from the pillow. The hard edges catch the light from the bedside lamp. The work on the paper stays clear even with the soft evening light.
