Light Matters 3
DESCRIPTION
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2022
In Tycjan Knut’s powerful first print release with Tappan, artificial sources of light dance with shadows across prints whose original paintings are sometimes infused with Carrara marble dust. The works wrestle with the abstraction of geometrical design as Knut uses layers of paint and even varying mediums to bring dimensionality to the striking works. Some of the works were created in Tuscany and will be exhibited in Florence as part of the “Horror Vacui” exhibition. The intention behind other works in the release is to create a gentle artificial light source with subtle illusions of shadow and light. The result is an oeuvre that is instantly classic, yet pushes the medium into new and exciting realms.

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.
