Rainbow Orb 2, 2023

Artspace is pleased to announce a new limited edition print by Los Angeles-based artist Jennifer Guidi.

Inspired by Impressionism, Tibetan sand mandalas, meditation, and the California landscape, Guidi mixes sand with paint to create atmospheric abstract compositions that radiate from a center point outward and inspire a meditative state of being.

Rainbow Orb 2 is based on an original painting with the same title, and is finished with screenprinted varnishes and fine glass beads to recall the cavities and textures that characterize Guidi’s sand-encrusted canvases. Each edition is sold framed according to the artist’s specifications to highlight and protect the print’s delicate surface details.

Dazzlingly beautiful and deceptively complex, Jennifer Guidi’s layered painting practice stems from and gives way to a transcendent observation of both exterior and interior worlds.

“Some people tell me that they meditate in front of the work, if they live with it. There’s an unfolding that happens if someone’s actually living with the work.” - Jennifer Guidi

Several major institutions have acquired Guidi’s work, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Guidi’s Rainbow Orb 2 is the latest in a series of limited editions inspired by Phaidon’s celebrated survey Great Women Painters, and is a charitable edition benefitting the Dallas Museum of Art.

Jennifer Guidi (b. 1972, Redondo Beach, California) draws from several lineages, including the visionary Modernism of the American Southwest, process-oriented minimalism, Light and Space, lyrical West Coast abstraction, and the many strains of art throughout the globe in which intense optical patterning is a driving force. Guidi will be the subject of a solo exhibition, And so it is., from September 16, 2023 through  January 6, 2024, at the Orange County Museum of Art in Costa Mesa, California. Guidi has also been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Long Museum West Bund, Shanghai (2022); Museo Villa Croce, Genoa, Italy (2017); and LAXART, Los Angeles (2014). Her work is in the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Dallas Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and the Guggenheim Museum, New York, among other institutions. Guidi is represented by David Kordansky Gallery, Gagosian Gallery and Massimo De Carlo. The artist lives and works in Los Angeles.

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.
