About the Work
We are proud to have collaborated with Ellen Berkenblit and Anton Kern Gallery on Caleo, a silkscreen edition of 35. Derived from Latin, caleo means warmth, an apt wording for its brightly hued palette that is emblematic of Berkenblit's oeuvre. Berkenblit builds explosive compositions that are celebrations of line, color, and form. Her paintings feature recurring characters — cartoon-like subjects, sharp high-heels, smatterings of floral bouquets, and a brightly hued tiger. For Berkenblit, the figurative molds in her paintings serve as conduits to explore the abstract rather than representing definitive subject matter.

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.
