Mohawk

Gene Davis, a prominent figure in the Color field painting movement, created Mohawk in 1970, exemplifying his signature style of bold, vertical stripes in vivid colors. This Abstract artwork emphasizes rhythm, repetition, and the interplay of hue and saturation, engaging viewers through its dynamic visual harmony. The title Mohawk reflects Davis’s practice of naming pieces with distinctive, often simple words that resonate with the composition’s structure or emotional impact. As a leading minimalist artist, Davis’s technique involves applying paint evenly to achieve flat, unmodulated color fields that highlight pure color relationships.
