“Phenomena Over the Cusp” by Paul Jenkins epitomizes the fluid and dynamic qualities of Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction. The artwork features broad, sweeping strokes of color that transition seamlessly into one another, creating an impression of movement and depth. Predominantly composed of deep purples, blues, and reds, the colors blend and contrast to form an almost ethereal landscape that invites the viewer to explore its intricate details. The expansive canvas serves as a vast stage for Jenkins’ exploration of color and form, embodying the essence of abstract art through its spontaneous yet deliberate execution.
