• Paul Jenkins is considered one of the most important representatives of American Abstract Expressionism, especially of its variant Lyrical abstraction.
• Contrary to Jackson Pollock's 'drip paintings', Jenkins has a floating, soft and atmospheric color applicatio.
• The dissolving wafts of color creates imaginative landscapes in the mind's eye,
• In the series 'Phenomena' Jenkins examines the properties of the colors' movement, consistency and radiance.
• The meditative character of Jenkins' works is inspired by his interest in Eastern philosophy
• Works by Jenkins are in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris and in Tate Gallery, London
