About the Work

Luscious Lady Takes a Stroll in the Lush (2023) by Alake Shilling is the artist’s first and only hand-finished series. A true blend of thoughtful original touch and innovative print edition, our first collaboration with the artist is an organic extension of Shilling’s multi-disciplinary practice, created alongside her 2023 solo exhibition A Bug’s Life at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery.

Luscious Lady Takes a Stroll in the Lush incorporates key elements of Shilling’s larger body of work: diverse textural narratives that playfully reconfigure material boundaries à la sculptural paintings and painterly sculptures. Each print in the series features 3D epoxy adhered molds created by Shilling in her Los Angeles studio through an experimental process of layering plastics and UV gels. Additionally, each unique work includes a combination of meticulously applied glitter, painted acrylic embellishments, holographic foils, and UV-printed spot varnish coating the lips and shell of Shilling’s fantastical ladybug.

FRAMING DETAILS

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 acrylic spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing. “Edge to Edge” framing is pretty much how it sounds. We frame directly around the artwork. This type of framing is nice for photographs and work that already has a large border.

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.

DIMENSIONS

Our White and Black frames have a 7⁄8” 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 Walnut frames has a 3⁄4” wide flat face and is 1 1⁄8” deep. Mats are 1” wide.

Any artwork that is floated will be placed in a frame that has a 5⁄8” wide flat face and is 1 5/16” deep. Work will be floated with a 1” border around it.
