Ronald Davis — Yellow Hinge
Ronald Davis

Yellow Hinge

Yellow Hinge is a shaped canvas constructed from repurposed scraps of PVC, combining a quadrilateral and two triangular forms into a unified, unconventional composition. Davis's intuitive process allowed the work to emerge organically, with the irregular geometry creating a dynamic tension that defies formal planning. The painting's surprising success lies in this spontaneity, demonstrating how chance and material economy can produce a work of quiet, compelling harmony.

"Yellow Hinge just happened. I built the shape and painted it [...] from a leftover quadrilateral scrap and two triangular scraps of PVC. I couldn't figure out why this little painting 'worked' so well." Ronald Davis
