Paul Jenkins, “Phenomena 216”, 1960 – Oil on canvas, inch. 30×40

Immerse yourself in the evocative power of abstract expressionism with “Phenomena 216”, a masterpiece by Paul Jenkins created in 1960. This extraordinary work, a large-scale oil on canvas, embodies the chromatic intensity and fluid gesture that have made Jenkins internationally famous.

The composition unfolds in a dance of violet pigments, blacks and subtle shades of deep reds, crossed by a luminous slit of white that seems to rip through the darkness: a lyrical and dynamic, almost cosmic movement that captures the eye and invites contemplation.

The ‘controlled pour’ technique developed by the artist is masterfully expressed here, giving the work a unique balance between chaos and control.

“Phenomena 216” is not just a painting: it is a visual experience, a fragment of pure energy translated into form and colour.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collectors and art lovers to own an iconic work by one of the leading figures of the post-World War II American avant-garde.
