About the Work
This edition is part of our inaugural Curator Series: Edition 01, which was curated by Saša Bogojev and debuted at CAN Art Fair 2022.
"Loosely approaching perspective and dimension, Benzo is able to create the most impossible arrangements of unreal plants and odd vases and interior objects. Primarily focusing on composition and the ways to render their velvety surface, the artist is playing with gradients often reaching for oversaturated hues of a certain color. Contrasted against dim and neutral backgrounds, these compositions gain prominence while creating an atmosphere of freedom or confusion. In his newest body of work, the artist is attributing almost human characteristics and elements to his objects, as well as adding a more expressive painterly approach through brush stroke-rich patterns." —Saša Bogojev

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”.

Shippings & Returns
