What makes the paper quality 'museum-grade'?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival-grade paper. Its 0.29 mm thickness and matte, uncoated finish prevent yellowing and glare, ensuring your Sam Francis print remains a vibrant centerpiece for decades.
How is the frame constructed?
Our frames are crafted from responsibly sourced black-stained oak or ash. Each frame is 20mm (0.79") wide and thick, providing superior structural integrity and a premium aesthetic compared to thinner, standard frames.
Is the artwork ready to hang upon delivery?
Yes. Every RedKalion framed art print arrives fully assembled with a specialized hanging kit included, allowing you to easily mount the artwork on your wall as soon as it is unboxed.
How is the print protected during shipping?
We use shatterproof plexiglass to protect the print's surface. This lightweight, durable material offers superior clarity while ensuring the artwork arrives in perfect condition without the risk of glass breakage.
Is the production process environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. RedKalion uses FSC-certified wood and paper or equivalent sustainable materials, ensuring that your fine art reproduction supports responsible forest management and environmental stewardship.
What is the significance of the 'All Red' composition?
In 'All Red', Sam Francis explores the concept of the 'Big Red,' a theme in his late 60s work where color floods the canvas to evoke emotional intensity and spatial depth through Lyrical Abstraction.
How does Sam Francis' technique differ from other AbEx artists?
Unlike the heavy impasto of Action Painters, Francis used a fluid, 'tachiste' technique, focusing on the luminosity of paint and the importance of the white space behind the color to create a sense of breath.
