About the Work

We are proud to have collaborated with Delphine Desane to create To no longer think. Second act., a series of 20 hand-finished silkscreen prints. The series was made in her studio by layering acrylic and ink atop a base print, transforming the original image to create over a dozen unique narratives. This work typifies the artist's dramatic style. Her portraits of Black women with bold, assertive gazes are informed by her own experience as a Black woman, Black mother and as an immigrant living in a new country. This piece encapsulates the wisdom and strength that come from these lived experiences. The precise application of striking color and contrast commands our attention and makes this work both powerful and calming to view.

Artist Biography

Delphine Desane (b. 1988 Paris, France) had her first solo exhibition at Luce Gallery (Turin, IT) in 2021. She has been featured in group exhibitions at CANADA (New York), Taymour Grahne Gallery (London), CFHILL (Stockholm), and PENSKE projects (Los Angeles). Desane gained international recognition after she was commissioned to make a work for the cover of Vogue Italia's January 2020 issue. Her works have been acquired by the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (Marrakech), and numerous private collections across the United States and Europe. Desane lives and works in New York.

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”.

Any artwork that is floated will be placed in a frame that has a ⅝” wide flat face and is 1 5/16” deep. Work will be floated with a 1” border around it.
