Royal Curtain
1980
Royal Curtain is a 1980 screenprint on Arches paper that showcases Davis's continued exploration of chromatic relationships. The work employs dramatic vertical striping that creates visual movement across the composition. The title references the ornamental quality of the striped pattern, suggesting fabric or decorative elements. Davis's careful selection of the Arches paper support enhances the luminosity of the printed colors. This work exemplifies the artist's mature approach to color and pattern abstraction.
