{"product_id":"number-2-jackson-pollock","title":"Number 2 - Jackson Pollock","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1951 abstract composition by Jackson Pollock, featuring a dense, rhythmic network of lines rendered in a warm, golden-ochre palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumber 2, created in 1951, represents a specific period in the career of Jackson Pollock. During this time, the artist moved away from his earlier, dense drip paintings, often incorporating more controlled gestures and a restricted palette. This work is dominated by golden, ochre, and amber tones, creating a surface that appears almost metallic or parchment-like in its texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on a web of linear marks that traverse the canvas. Unlike the chaotic layering found in his earlier works, these lines possess a rhythmic quality, suggesting a deliberate engagement with the physical act of painting. The paint application varies in thickness, with some areas showing thin, translucent washes and others displaying heavier, impasto-like strokes. This variation creates a sense of depth, despite the overall flatness of the picture plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePollock utilised a range of tools to apply the pigment, resulting in marks that shift between fluid curves and sharp, angular incisions. The interaction between the dark, almost black lines and the lighter, warm background creates a visual tension. The work avoids traditional representational elements, focusing instead on the relationship between colour, line, and the physical surface of the canvas. It is an example of the artist's exploration of automatic gesture and the physical presence of the medium. The painting invites the viewer to observe the movement of the artist's hand across the space, documenting a series of decisions made during the creative process. By limiting the colour range, Pollock directs attention to the structural qualities of the composition, allowing the viewer to analyse the interplay of light and shadow within the dense network of marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/red-orange-tan-and-purple-mark-rothko\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRed, Orange, Tan and Purple - Mark Rothko — Mark Rothko\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/untitled-abstract-composition-ink-on-paper-wassily-kandinsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Abstract Composition, Ink on Paper) - Wassily Kandinsky — Wassily Kandinsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jackson Pollock","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58843728970063,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58843758395727,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58843758428495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58843758461263,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58843758494031,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Number-2_Poster_CompositorV1_1790017559006.jpg?v=1790018075","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/number-2-jackson-pollock","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
