About the Work

Simply existing in The Information Age demands intense periods of inundated consumption, cycled through with brief moments of self-imposed mental retreats in the name of sustainable sanity. Dashiell Manley's work is inextricable from contemporary society, as it serves as a reflection of repetitive consumption and the omnipresent media landscape. Thus, it is no surprise the evolution of Manley's work mimics the dichotomous sequence of saturation and solace. Elegy is an ongoing collection of paintings which includes initial elegy (2015), on which his exclusive Exhibition A edition is based. The series serves as a respite from the overwhelming nature of his two previous critically acclaimed bodies of work, which including his New York Times and Various sources paintings; both of which dealt with the "content of the world," according to Manley. Elegy manifests a meditative quality via Manley's controlled and composed problem-solving, working in sharp impastoed slashes that communicate a sense of melancholic zen.

Framing

Framed artwork is custom framed once it is ordered. Allow 3-5 weeks for framing and delivery.

FRAME
All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.

MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.

GLAZING
We use museum quality .060 mm plexiglass to frame your work. It blocks 82-85% of UV rays to prevent color fading from exposure to light, protecting your art for years to come.

Our White and Black frames have a ⅞” wide flat face and are 15/16” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.

Our Natural and Walnut frames have a ¾” wide flat face and are 1 ⅛” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.
