Sanctuary City Print

"Sanctuary City" is a meditation on the contrast of the harsh angles of human design against roving tangles of organic growth. The title and some of the structural elements were inspired by renowned architect Ricardo Bofill’s Mertixell Sanctuary in Andorra - a striking building that stands out from its lush surroundings in just such a way. It also explores some of the shapes and trends of the “brutalist” architecture movement popularized in Brazil and other South American regions. The backdrop and botanical shapes were rendered in loose mediums including oil pastels and watered down or splattered inks, while the structural element was painted with tightly controlled acrylic and Sumi ink.

The original was painted with inks, oil pastel, acrylic and gouache on panel.

PRINT DETAILS:

- This is an archival print of my original painting.
- Each print is signed on the front.
- Frame and mat are NOT included.
- All of my prints are produced with professional art materials including pigment-based inks and archival Somerset Velvet fine art paper. 
-In order to keep your print in great condition it is important to frame with archival materials (mats, backing board, etc.), keep out of direct sunlight, and UV glass if you really want to go all-out!

SIZE:

- Paper is larger than the listed size, as there is a ~1.25" white border around the actual image to enable easier matting, or float mounting to display the deckled edges of the paper.
- Image itself is shrunk down ~1/4" from size listed to expose signature line when matted or framed in the corresponding standard sized mat/frame.
