Color monoprint, on handmade TGL paper. Signed and dated in pencil. Published by Tyler Graphics, New York, and with their blindstamp. Four Winds (I) (1980) by Paul Jenkins is a striking color monoprint produced on handmade TGL paper and published by Tyler Graphics Ltd.. Known for his fluid approach to abstraction, Jenkins often allowed pigments to flow and interact organically on the paper, creating compositions that balance spontaneity with control. In this work, broad areas of luminous color—particularly the dominant yellow field—interact with bold black brush-like forms and vibrant areas of red, orange, and turquoise. The sweeping black gesture that cuts diagonally across the composition introduces movement and tension, guiding the viewer’s eye through the image. The layered pigments and irregular edges of color emphasize the physical process of the monoprint technique, in which each impression is unique. The title Four Winds suggests forces of nature or directional movement, reinforcing the dynamic energy of the composition. Jenkins frequently explored themes of flow, light, and natural phenomena, and this work reflects his interest in the expressive potential of color and gesture.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
