His work appears in galleries around the world and are in corporate collections along of major celebrities (see online for more about the artist)
This is one of his more energetic pieces which appears to be part of his work influenced by prehistoric cave art or ancient cultures versus some of his other pieces
Different lighting will have a dramatic effect due to the depth of the paper and foil
Because it is an ARTIST PROOF, it appears more attention to detail is in this piece versus his normal production run of 100-300 pieces. The foil inlays are sharp and the colors applied very carefully.
The hand made paper appears to be very crisp and fresh as it would have been made before the numbered production run would have softened the patterns on the plate. Edges of the paper are also extremely clean.
Lower right corner shows his signature
Center shows the title "OBeam #1"
Lower left corner shows the letters "A/P"---(Artist Proof)
Matting is sharp with linen or fabric wrapping.
Frame is extremely well made and appears to be some type of hard maple.
His pieces sell in galleries for around $2,500-4,000 depending on the subject, media and framing. However, those prices are for numbered pieces, not Artist Proofs which are always more valuable
