Things of the past
DESCRIPTION
Monoprint on found paper | 2019
A collection of hand-printed works on paper created between 2018 and 2021, this series from artist Mike McMullen was made in a space without judgment. Creating this work (nearly 100 prints) over the course of three years felt at times more like a rocky relationship to the artist than a practice. But he always returned to them. McMullen treats each of these prints like a discovery, like something he has dug up and gently wiped the dust from. These works are his memories, his impulses and his electric circuitry all on display. They are the exports of his interior. Images etched from memory. Words plucked in passing, then hastily applied like some psychedelic prose. They are reminders, road maps and numbers on a napkin. They are love letters tied to a brick, crashing through a window.
DIMENSIONS
14.5 x 12 inches
AUTHENTICATION
Signed by artist.
The work comes with a Certification of Authenticity signed by the Co-Founder of Tappan
Framing & Mounting
Framing
Our frames are produced from the best quality wood, primarily from Italy. Each is custom cut and assembled by hand to fit your art. Hanging hardware included!
THIN GALLERY FRAME
This modern profile was designed for artists and photographers. Narrow on the front and deep on the sides, our slim mouldings provide a clean, sharp frame for your art, and allows all focus to be on your gorgeous work.
3/4" wide; 1 1/8" deep
UV - PROTECTIVE ACRYLIC
Our acrylic is more expensive than glass, but we use it because it’s clearer, far more impact resistant, and protects your art against UV rays. Framing-grade acrylic has become a new standard in framing because of its “clear” benefits.
THE FULL BLEED
Works are framed flush with the edge of your print without a mat. Request border modifications and spacers, which keep the work from touching the glass.
THE MAT
Adds a white core mat with a bevel cut opening to the edge of your print. If your work has a signature or edition numbering, we will automatically mat around it unless otherwise specified.
We use 4-ply, conservation-grade, acid-free mat board. We match whites and off-whites to your exact piece. Acid-free materials protect your art from yellowing or becoming brittle.
THE FLOAT
Floating a piece allows for a full view of the face and sides of the artwork. Floating is recommended for original drawings and paintings or any piece produced on specially trimmed paper.
