Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - 1984 by Doug Ohlson sits on the wall with a quiet arrangement of colour. Broad painted areas meet across the sheet, and the tones slide from one band to the next without hard edges. The surface holds a measured calm that comes from the painted shapes themselves.

The fine art frame in white gives the picture a clear edge against the room. That white border stays out of the way and lets the painted tones read on their own. You see the painted bands first and the frame only when you step back.

On a hallway wall near the front door, the painted bands show up when you pass through. The light from the hall window falls across the surface and the white frame keeps its edge. The colours stay steady as you walk by.
