Ferris Wheel

Gene Davis, a prominent figure in Color field painting, created Ferris Wheel in 1980, exemplifying his signature use of bold, vertical stripes of color. This abstract work showcases Davis’s mastery of rhythm and harmony through vibrant hues and precise composition. Executed as a lithography on paper, the piece emphasizes the interplay of line and color intensity without representational forms. The title Ferris Wheel suggests a circular motion, reflected conceptually in the dynamic arrangement of colored stripes, inviting viewers to experience visual movement within a static medium.
