About the Work
Vaughn Spann works between figuration and abstraction, utilizing a sculptural sense of materiality to examine the symbiosis of formal elements. Simple, everyday materials transcend in their combinations to "...allow me to investigate the potential for what I consider metamorphic organic poetry," he notes. Spann works with the intent of critiquing past and present art histories that have excluded black experiences and upending these narratives. With his series Strange Bloom, Spann presents vibrant ecosystems of color and space — the botanical subjects develop a bodily texture, echoing hair or muscle as much as leaf or flower.

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”.
