About the Work
Royal Jarmon is offering us the escape we deserve. A chance to sneak away, catch a breath of city air as the wind tells its stories of debris, above and below. Like classic still lifes, Jarmon’s fire escape paintings capture objects in scenes of momentary stillness, suspending reality within a world ostensibly in flux. In his new hand-embellished series, Escape, Jarmon has created 20 unique scenes that typify his exploration of this legendary element of New York City architecture. Objects in the foreground come alive, becoming the fixation of our daydreams, portals through which we escape, while the backgrounds remain deliberately hazy. The act of creation is itself an avenue to freedom; in his body of work, Jarmon has experimented with abstracted, flattened versions of maps of the United States and NASCAR vehicles, demonstrating an ongoing examination of psychological and material relations. And perhaps this, the opportunity to look at things differently, is the best escape of all.

Framing
Please email service@exhibitiona.com to have this work framed.
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.
