Paul Jenkins
artist
American painter of Art Informel
The collaboration
Introduced by Mark Tobey, Jenkins begins to work with Egidio in Murano in 1968: with them Art Informel and sculpture in glass become one. Glass proves the material of his painting, and Egidio the one who translates its drawings and colours.
Together they make the Phenomena, glass sculptures that hold at once reality in its endless metamorphoses and the outcome of those changes: the forms are born of the colours, and the colours of light.
