Fine Art Limited Edition of 100 - Naturally forming mudcracks start as wet, muddy sediment dries up and contracts. A strain is developed because the top layer shrinks while the material below stays the same size. When this strain becomes large enough, channel cracks form in the dried-up surface to relieve the strain. Individual cracks spread and join up, forming a polygonal, interconnected network. These cracks may later be filled with sediment and form casts over the base. Photo © copyright by Aaron Reed.
PLATINUM SERIES | LUMACHROME TRULIFE® ACRYLIC FINE ART PRINTS | READY TO HANG
The most luxurious gallery quality pieces that I offer, proprietary Lumachrome Acrylic Fine Art prints, are unmatched in both handcrafted artistry and visual excellence. The work itself is composed first as an iridium infused transparency, that is then incapsulated between a white poly base layer and museum grade Trulife® acrylic glass. TruLife® is a crystal clear, scratch resistant and non-reflective acrylic glass that allows exacting detail and vibrancy to shine through without distraction.
This masterly crafted work of art is then adhered to a second sheet of acrylic glass, thoroughly isolating it from all elemental damage. Finally, the artwork is finished with an Italian made Ramino frame by Roma Moulding recessed on the reverse, creating a ready to hang piece of unrivaled quality and exquisite beauty.
Fine Art prints produced this way show incredible visual depth and an almost 3d quality full of high definition details, beautiful tonal transitions and incredibly vibrant colors. Light that falls across and reflects off of the face of artwork is visually "trapped" within the acrylic glass and when properly lit, appears to be illuminated or back-lit. Lumachrome Acrylic prints have a silver, almost pearl-like luminescence that adds to the overall luxury feel of these incredible pieces. As various qualities of changing light fall across the walls of your home, the luminescence of the art changes as well, bringing the work to life before your very eyes.
Lumachrome TruLife® Acrylic Prints are backed by a lifetime guarantee. Handcrafted In The USA.
