Jerry Zeniuk is known for his minimalist abstract paintings, which often consist of solid blocks of color and explore the interplay between light and color. One of his most well-known works is "Yellow, Red, Blue," a large-scale painting that features three overlapping rectangular shapes in the titular colors. The work embodies Zeniuk's fascination with the relationships between color, shape, and space, and is representative of his signature style.
