Paul Jenkins — Phenomenon Spectrum OM
Paul Jenkins

Phenomenon Spectrum OM

A luminous cascade of translucent watercolor washes flows across the wove paper, dissolving into one another in shifting gradients of violet, gold, and deep blue. Paul Jenkins employs his signature technique of pouring and guiding pigment across the surface, allowing color to pool and bloom with an organic, almost mystical energy. The result is a radiant chromatic field that evokes the spiritual and cosmic resonance suggested by the title.
