About the Work
Ted Gahl's eclectic approach to painting fuses humor and art historical reference while shifting between figuration and abstraction. Sometimes working with the drawings he made as a child, Gahl's fresh wit has even lead him to landing his work on the HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm. This particular print is based on a photo he took of a German tourism shirt that caught his attention on Beverly Boulevard in LA, where the expressive eyes are both cartoonish and disquieting.

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.
