By the 1960s, Jenkins had refined his unique method of painting: he began by priming his canvases with white acrylic, creating a luminous ground that allowed his vivid colors to glow with inner light. Using a mixture of acrylic paint and matte medium thinned with water, Jenkins poured the pigment onto tilted canvases, guiding the flow with a knife or brush. This approach resulted in his signature “veil paintings”—ethereal compositions characterized by thin, radiant layers of color that appear to drift across the surface. Phenomena Ever Cross Over is a vibrant kaleidoscope of saturated hues that swirl and mingle in dynamic interplay of light and color. Jenkins described himself as an “abstract phenomenist,” a term that reflects his interest in capturing fleeting sensations and natural phenomena rather than static forms. The rippling, diffuse edges of his veils suggest organic life—petals, waves, or weather systems. Jenkins guided his paint not to control it, but to discover the forms latent within its flow. Here Jenkins conjures a cosmos with swirling forms and viscous mixtures akin to a milky way or galaxy–conjuring the colliding forms and voids of space with calligraphic lines cutting through the swirling forms.
