This lithograph reveals the expressive force of Jenkins’ intuitive process. Inky black forms evoke the flatness of night, while their diffused edges suggest the restless energy of crashing waves. Bold black lines guide the viewer’s eye through the composition, moving from the dense foreground into the open negative space of the upper register. The stark white background becomes a space of contemplation, hinting at a realm beyond the visible. Jenkins’ engagement with Zen spiritualism and mysticism resonates in the lithograph’s minimalist, spontaneous visual language. The influence of East Asian calligraphy surfaces in the dynamic, gestural linework that cuts through the composition and in the pooled ink blots at the lower edge, drawn downward by the compelling influence of gravity. Deeply inspired by his travels to Japan and encounters with the Gutai group, Jenkins’ work bridges Abstract Expressionism with international theatrical movements that explore gesture, motion, color, and light. His lithograph becomes a site where the spiritual and the material converge in meditative intensity.
