Studio portrait; British Landscapes, 2015

This photograph from London-based artist Francesca Tamse incorporates her interest in constructed landscapes and gendered gaze. Much like her series, “Young Men on the English Terrain,” this work establishes tension between the tactile quality of the countryside and the manipulated gaze of a studio-made scene. Studio portrait; British Landscapes was printed as an exclusive Artspace Edition, in collaboration with tri-annual photography publication Dear Dave.

Francesca Tamse is currently an MFA Photography student at the Royal College of Art, London. Her book (IT) On Landscape #2, which was exhibited at Matèria Gallery, focuses on the landscape view of photography in book format.

Her self-published book Young Men on the English Terrain explores the patriarchal gaze by staging and re-constructing views of the British landscape. The works question the authorities of privilege—the archive as a tool for re-observation. She was recently shortlisted for the Unseen Book Dummy Award at Unseen in Amsterdam 2015.

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.
