The posed, meticulous quality of Abigail Matheson’s Vanitas Still Life reflects the fragility of life. By removing the organic elements of the garden—such as Colin’s mother’s roses and the robin’s eggs from their natural context, Matheson reminds us of the temporary, fleeting nature of such objects. Preserved in timeless oil-paint perfection, we’re able to feel relief knowing on the canvas, they will remain as they once were.
Our Hahnemühle Pearl Giclee paper has a smooth orange peel texture and resin coating which creates a fibrous feel and satin-like finish. With a bright neutral white base, it creates natural black and white images and offers vibrant color reproduction. Combined, this great mixture of qualities give the print the feel of an oil painting.
Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
