// Phenomena Wing Cut by Paul Jenkins is an oil painting on canvas that captures Jenkins' signature approach to fluid and expressive color. Painted in 1979, this work reflects his fascination with organic forms and dynamic movement. The composition features a large, abstract shape reminiscent of a wing or manta ray, rendered in deep blues and subtle hints of purple and brown. The smooth, sweeping lines and gradations of color suggest a sense of motion, as if the form is gliding gracefully across the canvas. Jenkins' technique, which often involves pouring and manipulating paint, gives the surface a mesmerizing texture, inviting the viewer to explore the interplay between light, color, and form.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
