Historical Description

Paul Jenkins Phenomena, 1975  is a unique and enticing watercolor on paper that draws the eye through the composition. Using a multitude of various colors, Jenkins creates a work that is visually striking with the intricate and intentional color-blocking. Using the colors of the rainbow, he utilizes the length of the paper with deep teals, slate grey, and sections of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Jenkins uses the negative space throughout the work to highlight his expressive use of bold colors, while allowing the eye to rest as you transition from the different sections of the work. The purples bleed into the blues and grey, creating limitless colors throughout the work. Using sharp lines to section off parts of the page, Jenkins utilizes his masterful technique in watercolor to develop a stunning visual that enamors and captivates the viewer.
