THE LEISURE PRINCIPLE • in Palm Springs (89 cm x 159 cm)

FRAMING INFORMATION:

RETRO-FRAME: Custom made 3cm wide black matte US wood frame, unmated. This particular framed option comes without matting and glass, which is not necessarily due to the size and the serigraph nature since already a UV satin varnish was already applied. At this stage, the display is approved by the artist.

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 are a perfect match to SHAG’s painting style.

He is collaborating with Kolibri Art Studio, Inc. 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.
