About the Work
From Brad Pitt to Prince Charles, Mark Flood’s work leaves no cultural touchstone unturned. Flood examines ideas about beauty and society through a wide variety of mediums, including his signature lace paintings and grotesque reimaginings of celebrity head shots. Mark Flood's LIKE signs were first seen in 2012 at a hotel room pop-up exhibition during the thick of Miami art fair season. Quickly taken and redistributed, these signs found themselves all around the Miami area from NADA to A-Rod's batting cage. With this action, Flood externalized the act of "liking" content via social media and "illuminated the enslavement of the human race by Facebook." In an Interview article, Flood spoke about his work in relation to the images we approve with the swift click of a button: "In reality, my work has nothing to do with the celebrities, nothing to do with them. It is about us, and why we like pictures of people that stare at us."

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.
