Like his contemporaries Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Jenkins was interested in exploring new paint application techniques including paint pouring and the creation of translucent color veils. Much of his technique relied on the unseen elements of the art, including new ways to prime the canvas and paint manipulation techniques. Jenkins aimed to entirely eliminate the paintbrush as a tool in his artwork. For many abstract expressionists, the technique can become the focal point, at times overshadowing the finished artwork itself. Alt
