About the Work

Kimia Ferdowsi Kline explores the chasm between her American upbringing and Persian heritage through vibrant color schemes and expressive composition. As members of the Baha'i faith, Kline's family was exiled from their native Iran before she was born, precluding Kline from a firsthand experience with her family's homeland. Painting served as a tool to explore her curiosity and imagination fueled by family narratives, old photographs and contemporary Iranian photographers. Says Kline, "The final images are patchworks of imagination, memory, and storytelling." In Two Heads, we are greeted by two gentle figures held in a moment of repose. The thoughtful serenity of the image is activated by the saturated colorscape that engulfs the characters. Expressive swaths of pale yellow, chlorophyll green, pastel pink, and opaque navy blue lend tension to the intimacy.

Authentication & Resale

This work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed and numbered by the artist. 

Be sure to keep your Certificate of Authenticity (COA) in a safe place. We are unable to replace or reissue COAs.

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.
