The Rhythmic Precision of Gene Davis's 'Black Popcorn' (1969)

As a central figure of the Washington Color School, Gene Davis spent his career exploring the infinite possibilities of the vertical stripe. Black Popcorn, created in 1969, is a masterclass in optical rhythm and chromatic tension. Unlike the static blocks of many of his contemporaries, Davis’s stripes pulse with a musicality that requires time and space to fully appreciate. At RedKalion, we present this museum-quality reproduction as a tribute to the legacy of Color Field painting, ensuring every nuance of the original composition is preserved for the modern collector.

Archival Excellence on Premium Acrylic

To capture the vibrant intensity and sharp edges characteristic of Davis’s 1960s output, this fine art print is rendered on 4mm (0.15") high-grade acrylic. The material’s inherent depth enhances the saturation of the stripes, creating a three-dimensional luminosity that paper or canvas simply cannot replicate. Each piece is crafted with straight-cut corners, providing a sleek, contemporary profile that complements the mathematical precision of the artwork.

  • Material: 4mm high-clarity acrylic for a vibrant, durable finish.
  • Dimensions: Large-format 70x100 cm (28x40″) for a commanding gallery presence.
  • Hanging System: Includes a dedicated kit with four screws and pre-drilled holes for secure mounting.
