This fine art reproduction captures the vibrant energy and abstract expressionism that defined Thomas's later career, transforming any space with its dynamic color patterns and celestial inspiration.
As a pioneering African American artist and educator, Alma Woodsey Thomas (1891–1978) broke barriers in the Washington Color School movement. Orion exemplifies her signature "Alma Stripes" technique—a rhythmic arrangement of short, mosaic-like brushstrokes that evoke the shimmering night sky. Created during her prolific 1970s period, this work reflects her fascination with space exploration and natural phenomena, blending abstraction with a sense of wonder.
RedKalion's premium acrylic print elevates this masterpiece with exceptional clarity and durability.

With straight-cut corners and a white background for transparent areas, this piece offers a polished presentation ready to display.
Each print includes a complete hanging kit with hardware, screws, and pre-drilled holes (14mm/0.55" from the edge, 8mm/0.31" diameter, 15mm/0.6" screw head) for effortless installation. Measuring 70x100 cm / 28x40 inches, it commands attention in living rooms, offices, or galleries.
