Screenprint on wove paper - Signed and numbered in pencil, with studio blindstamp // Sam Francis’ Web (SFS-136) (1972) is a screenprint that captures his signature exploration of color and abstraction. This vibrant piece features splashes and drips of primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—scattered across a white background. The composition’s spontaneous arrangement of layered, overlapping hues gives it a dynamic, almost pulsating energy. Resembling cosmic clusters or interconnected webs, the shapes evoke both chaos and cohesion, drawing the viewer into a visual experience of controlled randomness. Printed on wove paper and signed with a studio blindstamp, this work exemplifies Francis’ ability to translate the essence of action painting into printmaking, offering a bold interplay of color and form.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
