"My series trying to find my way… is an exploration into perception. One third of the human brain is devoted to processing the 8,960 kilobits of information that it receives per second; my objective is to arrest the brain's split-second arrangements, assumptions, and filtering systems by pausing this processing system. Each image in this series was taken with the Sigma DP1, a camera that captures 'reality's' naturally occurring surrealism in layers of red, blue, and green." —David Brown

An intrepid chronicler of shopping malls and downtown intersections, David Brown's lens is keenly attuned to the distractions of our post-industrial economy.

His interest stems from a long lineage of artists and thinkers who also used the shopping mall or store as a subject in their work, such as the 19th-century photographer Eugene Atget, who shot Parisian shopping arcade windows, and the contemporary conceptual artist Dan Graham, who makes video pieces out of surveillance footage of consumers as they shop.

Brown's single-exposure photographs of store window displays and city intersections freeze urban chaos into sublime still lifes.

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.
