About the Work
Appropriating its palette from the tiles of traditional Burgundy Roofs and its composition from a classic Kenneth Noland painting Inner Way, Ondine recalls the great Maurice Denis quote, “Remembering that a painting – before it become a war horse, a naked woman, or an anecdote – is essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order.” Also the title of a poem by the French Romantic poet Aloysius Bertrand, the originator of modern prose poetry, Ondine explores how the avant-garde can become widely accepted to the point of turning generic through the passage of time. It's a translation from Dijon to New York, from a decorative-formalist language to artistic formalism of post-painterly abstraction, functioning as both a tribute and a commentary on our consumption of culture.

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.
