What makes the brushed aluminum finish unique for a Kenzo Okada print?
The brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND® features a horizontal grain that adds a dynamic metallic shimmer to the artwork. In Kenzo Okada’s 'A Well,' the unprinted areas reveal the natural silver base, creating a sophisticated play of light and depth that complements his abstract forms.
Is the hanging hardware included with this 70x100 cm print?
Yes, every RedKalion aluminum print includes a professional hanging kit. The specific hardware provided varies slightly depending on your shipping destination to ensure the most secure and aesthetically pleasing installation for the 3mm thick, rigid panel.
How long will this archival-grade reproduction last?
Our direct-print technology on AluDibond ensures exceptional longevity. The UV-resistant inks and durable aluminum base protect against fading and environmental damage, making it a true archival-grade reproduction that maintains its vivid colors and matte finish for decades.
How is the artwork protected during shipping?
RedKalion utilizes specialized, heavy-duty packaging designed for large-format fine art. Each 70x100 cm aluminum print is securely wrapped and placed in a protective box to ensure it arrives in pristine, gallery-ready condition at your doorstep.
Why is the finish described as matte and glare-free?
Despite the metallic silver effect, the print itself is matte. This ensures that the artwork remains visible from all angles without distracting reflections, making it ideal for rooms with high natural light or professional gallery lighting.
What is the historical significance of 'A Well' (1966) in Okada’s career?
Created in 1966, 'A Well' represents the height of Kenzo Okada's Yugenism. It exemplifies his transition toward larger, more simplified organic shapes that evoke a sense of spiritual calm and nature, blending Japanese sensitivity with the scale of American Abstract Expressionism.
What was Kenzo Okada’s artistic technique?
Okada was known for his 'subtractive' method, where he would apply paint and then carefully scrape or thin it to reveal layers underneath. This created the soft, atmospheric textures seen in 'A Well,' which are beautifully mirrored by the brushed texture of our aluminum prints.
