Jack In The Box (from the Series I portfolio)

1969

Jack In The Box is a screenprint from the Series I portfolio created in 1969, featuring colors applied to canvas that has been laminated to board. The work employs dynamic vertical striping characteristic of Davis's artistic practice. The unusual combination of canvas and board support adds dimensionality to the traditionally flat medium of screenprinting. This piece represents Davis's experimental approach to materials and surface preparation during the late 1960s. The work bridges painting and printmaking traditions through its hybrid construction.
