Sleepwalk, 2013

The dynamic yet delicate motion contained within this photograph suggests the work of Surrealist photographic experiments, and recalls Haskell's background in film production.

Inspired by the work of the early 20th century avant-garde, especially Surrealist photographers, Sharon Haskell creates tenebrous, otherworldly images that transform the familiar into the fantastical. In her work, recognizable subjects, such as the iconic Brooklyn Bridge or a Mallorca sunset, are rendered as moody and uncanny. In her series Thru the keyhole, whose title recalls the hallucinatory encounters of Alice in Wonderland, Haskell creates hazy and mysterious collages of organic material such as spirals and flowers against interior scenes, suggesting an inner world. Likewise, in the series Rebus, she creates visual analogues to the eponymous language game, which was similarly influential on the Surrealists for its psychoanalytic implications: Sigmund Freud used the rebus as a metaphor for the structure of a dream.

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.
