The RedKalion Archival Difference: Brushed Aluminum DIBOND®
At RedKalion, we believe fine art prints should be as enduring as the masterpieces they depict. This Gene Davis aluminum print is crafted on premium 3mm (0.12") brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®, offering a sophisticated, industrial-chic aesthetic.

This glare-free surface is particularly suited for high-light environments, allowing the intricate color transitions of Albatross to be seen clearly from any angle without distracting reflections.

How is the Albatross print ready for display?
Each Gene Davis print arrives with a professional hanging kit included. The specific hardware varies by fulfillment country to ensure the most secure and appropriate mounting solution for your 70x100 cm aluminum piece.
What are the physical properties of Aluminum DIBOND®?
Aluminum DIBOND® is a high-strength, lightweight material consisting of two aluminum layers sandwiching a polyethylene core. At 3mm thick, it provides a rigid, durable, and archival-grade base for museum-quality fine art reproductions.
How does the brushed silver finish impact the artwork?
The brushed silver finish features a visible horizontal grain. In the printing process, white areas remain unprinted, allowing the metallic silver texture to shine through, creating a dynamic interplay between the art and the material.
Is the print finish matte or glossy?
This reproduction features a sophisticated matte, glare-free finish. This makes it ideal for rooms with large windows or heavy overhead lighting, as it prevents reflections from obscuring the color field details.
How is the artwork protected during shipping?
RedKalion utilizes specialized, heavy-duty packaging designed specifically for large-format aluminum prints. We ensure secure global transit to maintain the integrity of the 70x100 cm archival-grade panel during delivery.
Who was Gene Davis and why is his work significant?
Gene Davis was a central figure in the Washington Color School. His stripe paintings, like the 1973 Albatross, revolutionized Color Field painting by using repetitive vertical lines to explore rhythm, scale, and optical perception.
What inspired the rhythmic style of Albatross (1973)?
Davis was often inspired by the structure of jazz music. Albatross reflects this through its "intervals" of color, where the width and placement of stripes create a visual cadence similar to a musical composition.
