Untitled Composition — Fine Art

Untitled Composition shows a field of small marks laid across the sheet. The paint sits in separate bits and lines, built up in layers. Jean-Paul Riopelle worked with this kind of broken application. The surface is busy, with colour placed in scattered spots rather than blended.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The white frame gives the image a clean edge on the wall. It keeps the busy surface contained and gives the picture a steady border. The contrast between the white frame and the mixed marks is clear and direct.

It hangs on a kitchen wall above the table. From the doorway you notice the scattered colour first, then the small lines in the paint. The white frame reads plainly against the busy surface.
