About the Work
"Bouquet Print No. 1" presents an image of a sparse bouquet composed in a sculptural vessel with two necks – one open and one closed. At the open end of the vessel, an arrangement of twig-like stems emerge from a lavender interior. Soft, lively shoots sprout from the main stems, a hit of bright pink at the shoots' ends exposing an inner glow inside each tendril. At the closed end of the vessel, a small collection of shapes – an arc and a sphere, or perhaps a piece of dried pasta and a rubber ball – rest on top of a small platform, as if just removed from a pocket and placed in this space to be admired or contemplated. The green vessel itself is patterned with fluorescent orange squiggles and rests atop a flat blue plate with a luminous red edge. The plate sits on a mustard surface in front of a lilac-pink background. This print is part of CHIAOZZA's "Bouquet" series, which spans drawing, painting, collage, and sculpture. This series explores the image of the vessel as a symbolic container for life and spirit. The luminous colors in the stems, the ball, the squiggles, and the plate further symbolize a liveliness that runs through all things, a representation of the unexpected moments that connect us. This is the first hand-finished print edition in the "Bouquet" series.

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.

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.
