Gene Davis: Boxcar (1981) – A Masterwork of Chromatic Rhythm

Experience the rhythmic precision of Gene Davis through this exquisite museum-quality reproduction of Boxcar (1981). As a leading figure of the Washington Color School, Davis transformed the canvas into a playground of vertical stripes, exploring the tension and harmony between diverse color fields. This particular piece, created in 1981, demonstrates a mature mastery of interval, cadence, and optical vibration.

At RedKalion, we elevate this iconic composition by utilizing brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®. The interplay between Davis's vertical stripes and the horizontal grain of the 3mm metallic base creates a sophisticated, multi-dimensional effect that a traditional canvas cannot replicate. The white areas of the original work are left unprinted, allowing the natural silver sheen to emerge, lending a contemporary brilliance to the 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) format.

Technical Excellence & Craftsmanship:
  • Premium Substrate: 3mm (0.12") Aluminum DIBOND® providing a durable, rigid, and lightweight foundation.
  • Dynamic Finish: The brushed silver horizontal grain offers a matte, glare-free viewing experience with striking metallic highlights.
  • Archival Printing: Direct-to-substrate technology ensures vivid color saturation and long-term UV resistance.
  • Ready for Display: A professional hanging kit is included, ensuring your Gene Davis aluminum print is ready to transform your space immediately.

This archival masterpiece is not merely a reproduction; it is a curated experience designed for the discerning collector. Elevate your interior with a piece that balances the rigors of formalist abstraction with the enduring quality of modern materials.
