Elevate Your Space with Hassel Smith’s ‘2 to the Moon’ (1961) on Brushed Aluminum

Experience the kinetic energy of the mid-century avant-garde with this museum-quality reproduction of Hassel Smith’s ‘2 to the Moon’ (1961). As a pivotal figure in the West Coast’s transition from Abstract Expressionism to a more rhythmic, graphic style, Smith captured the soaring optimism and technical fascination of the Space Race era. This piece is not merely a fine art print; it is a sophisticated dialogue between 20th-century gestural abstraction and 21st-century material innovation.

The Convergence of Art History and Modern Metallurgy

Hassel Smith was renowned for his ‘jazz-like’ approach to composition—spontaneous, yet disciplined. ‘2 to the Moon’ exemplifies this with its sweeping lines and ethereal forms. By presenting this Hassel Smith aluminum print on Brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®, RedKalion enhances the celestial theme of the artwork. The 3mm (0.12") rigid base provides a structural presence that traditional canvas cannot match, while the horizontal grain of the aluminum adds a dynamic, shimmering quality to the composition.

Unrivaled Print Technicality

At RedKalion, we prioritize archival integrity. This museum-quality reproduction utilizes a direct-to-panel printing process that yields a stunning matte finish. One of the most striking features of this medium is that unprinted white areas are not filled with ink; instead, they reveal the raw, brushed silver metallic surface, allowing the light to play across the piece as you move through the room. This effect is particularly potent for the cosmic subject matter of Smith’s 1961 masterpiece.

  • Authentic Texture: Features a brushed silver finish with a visible horizontal grain.
  • Sophisticated Palette: High-saturation direct printing ensures vivid colors and deep blacks.
  • Glare-Free Viewing: The matte finish eliminates reflections, making it ideal for bright, modern interiors.
  • Durable Construction: At 3mm thickness, the Aluminum DIBOND® is both lightweight and exceptionally rigid.

Each Hassel Smith print curated by RedKalion is designed to be an enduring legacy piece. This artwork arrives ready to transform your environment, complete with a specialized hanging kit tailored to your region. Invest in a masterpiece that bridges the gap between historical significance and contemporary luxury.
