Opera Lamb, 2014

Opera Lamb depicts one of Monaghan's fantastical characters, in this case, from his film Rainbow Narcosis. Like one of Durer's watercolors, the print is a kind of animal study from another world. Decapitated to reveal a baroque opera interior, and adorned with a regal crown, Monaghan's mythological lamb suggests the peril of decadence.

This print was created on the occasion of State of the Art at The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

Seamlessly melding imagery from art history, mainstream video games, and contemporary advertising, Jonathan Monaghan's sculptures and video installations are unreal explorations of power, wealth, and the role of technology. His absurd, yet compelling narratives take shape through sleek animated videos, virtual environments, and 3D printing. Monaghan's work has been exhibited and screened at the BFI Southbank in London, the Eyebeam Art & Technology Center in New York, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, and the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C.

All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.

All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.

All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.
