Shag, MIDNIGHT POOL PARTY in Palm Springs… (92cm x 164)

FRAMING INFORMATION:

FLOATING-FRAME WHITE: The serigraph is permanently attached to an acid-free foam core lift, hidden behind the work but mounted to a supporting white acid-free archival museum mat board. A spacer is used to create a depth between the glass and the art. The result is a look that keeps the art “floated” in the center of the frame. The depth that the foam core lift creates a slight shadow around the art, drawing extra attention to what makes it special. Placed in a 2.5cm wide, 4cm deep USA made white matte retro wood-frame an a 1cm wide light purple inner wood frame showing all sides a 4cm margin of the mat board, covered with museum glass for archival longevity.

DESCRIPTION:

SHAG’s limited editions introduced in Budapest are produced using the silk-screen (serigraph) printing method. Serigraphy for additional color depth, saturation, density, and texture is a perfect match to SHAG’s painting style.

He is collaborating with Kolibri Art Studio atelier in Los Angeles for decades for unparalleled quality at enormous sizes for always a small, limited edition of 200 serigraphs only. Anywhere from 10 to 25 colors (some colors are printed twice for optimum quality) with hand color-separation, required 2 months to print since it is very labor-intensive to complete these unique editions. His media choice is always the US-made, 100% rag 2 or 4-ply “Rising Museum Board” brand, acid-free, thick archival paper, only with 5cm margins left outside the live area. For the finish, SHAG requires a very expensive UV matte clear coat application made for silk-screen printing for preserving the extra longevity of the serigraph print.
