About the Work

Tension, disconnect, joy, pleasure. Are they not one in the same, navigating and traversing the cross-fields of human intimacy in powerful surges? In Kimia Ferdowsi Kline's body of work, she sensitively tackles the vast notion of intimacy, with its repercussions and results manifesting her painterly images that pair degrees of physical proximity with the spectrum of psychological distance. Kline often depicts her subjects amidst interaction with the outside world; landscapes serving as metaphor for the rich internal psychological landscapes that cannot always communicate as immediately and with such poignant fervor as the salty brush of a submerging wave. Technically, Kline retains an efficient system of mark-making that strips down both the surface and the content to their essence, speaking to the universality of human experience. In Night Swim, two female figures become one with the night. Subsumed by twilit darkness, their fragile lines cement stoically together in an underwater embrace that is simultaneously devoid and charged with narrative meaning

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.

DIMENSIONS
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”.

Any artwork that is floated will be placed in a frame that has a ⅝” wide flat face and is 1 5/16” deep. Work will be floated with a 1” border around it.
