About the Work
"Twinning" by Erik Foss is a striking shaped archival pigment print, mounted to museum board. This piece exemplifies Foss's signature style, which explores the visceral and often chaotic nature of the human psyche. By disrupting the conventional bounds of the figurative and the narrative, Foss compels viewers to navigate the tumultuous internal landscapes that characterize our existence. "Twinning" serves as a mirror to the internal strife and the transformative potential that resides within each individual, capturing the essence of Foss's creative expression.
Artist Biography
Erik Foss is a self-taught, American artist, born in Elgin, Illinois, in 1973. He was raised in the deserts just outside of Phoenix, Arizona. His early inspirations were fueled by the American cultural landscape, a religious upbringing, skateboarding, underground music and other elements from subcultures of the time. In 1996, Erik relocates to New York City on Halloween where he soon finds community in downtown Manhattan night life, in the streets with local skateboarders, and in the DIY gallery scene. During this time, New York City has become a foundation of inspiration for his work that reflects to this day. Erik then became a founding partner of Lit Lounge / Fuse Gallery from 2002 - 2015. It’s here that they showed other artists while he continued to evolve within his own practices. Erik has had eight solo shows and has been featured in countless group exhibitions in North America and internationally. He has also been included in two of the American Academy of Arts & Letters juried group exhibitions in which the academy purchased two significant canvas - one of which was placed in a major American Museum collection (Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art).

Framing
Framed artwork is custom framed to order. Please allow 3-5 weeks for framing and delivery.
Frame Options
Our frames are crafted from solid hardwood, meticulously manufactured in the USA. You can choose from a Maple hardwood frame available in Black, White, or Natural finish, or opt for the rich, elegant Walnut hardwood frame. Each option provides a timeless and sophisticated look to complement your artwork.
Matting
To ensure the longevity and preservation of your print, we hinge it to a conservation-quality, acid-free, and lignin-free Cellulose matboard using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. The mat’s surface paper is designed to be fade and bleed-resistant, and it is securely attached to a conservation-quality foam-core board. This particular piece will be float-mounted with a 2" border on the matboard, utilizing spacers to keep the artwork separate from the glazing.
Glazing
We protect your artwork with museum-quality .060 mm plexiglass, which blocks 82-85% of UV rays. This feature prevents color fading from light exposure, ensuring that your art remains vibrant and protected for years to come.
Dimensions
Any artwork that is float-mounted will be placed in a frame featuring a ⅝” wide flat face and a depth of 1 1/4”.
