Berlin Tegel, 2009

"I translate photographs into paintings that call attention to implicit political and social narratives transcribed in the built environment. The architectural image is represented in my work to introduce a dialogue about changing political power structures, failed utopias, the devastations caused by ideological struggles, war, and natural upheavals." —Daniel Rich

Daniel Rich's flat, graphic panels are more critically ambiguous than Ed Ruscha's optimistic Pop-Art paeans to modernist American architecture and typography. They depict cool, international-style buildings at sites fraught with dubious political legacies. His stenciled, photorealist paintings inform the viewer that the internal workings of governments shape the interiors and exteriors of the physical environments that people inhabit. Although ordered on the surface, his paintings reveal a provocative undercurrent of social commentary. Rich is a recipient of a Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation Studio Grant, and will be an artist in residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, NE in the Fall of 2011.

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.
