About the Work
Justin Adian’s dimensional paintings utilize a satisfying combination of form and color in their amorphous shapes, often mounted in groups of two or more in close proximity to build composite soft relief sculptures. The plastic surface quality resulting from thick layers of pastel latex and epoxy paint give the separate elements an impression of embracing one another until they’re jettisoned apart by their own elasticity. This constant tension, subtly present in Sweet Tops, is manifold in the lighthearted color schemes of hard-edge thought bubbles, as well as their inherent resemblance to human form, flesh, and contact - constructing narratives that can only be told through the relationship of one body to another.

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.

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.
