Light Up the Dark

Year: 2022

City: Paris

Country: France

Orientation: Portrait 

Most winters in Paris are riddled with stormy, rainy weather, and though foreboding clouds were ever-present, I was grateful to have a dry evening and quiet streets on my first trip to the city. While walking along the Place de la Concorde, where the historic axis of Paris opens between the Louvre and the modern city beyond, I was struck by the formidable ancient Egyptian obelisk and how it serves as a spatial hinge between ancient history and modern Paris.

As grey clouds passed overhead, above the oldest monument in Paris, I was fascinated by the juxtaposition of the Obelisk of Luxor and the Eiffel Tower behind it, with contemporary city lights below. Together, they act in unison as notable fixtures and pinnacle markers in Paris’s evolution. It felt to me like a concerted effort to light up the dark of the city.

Printing & Framing

Each archival pigment fine art print is part of a limited edition collection, signed and numbered to guarantee provenance. We print on heavyweight, acid-free paper, carefully selected for its archival quality and durability. Our museum-quality papers and ink choices produce a vivid, crisp image that maintains its richness and clarity over time, ensuring your artwork is built to last for generations.

We believe fine art deserves exceptional presentation and protection. We partner with our premier local framing studio that handcrafts our frames using the highest quality materials. Our frame styles and colors are carefully curated to accentuate the specific image, as we view the frame and mounting as an integral extension of the artwork itself. Please refer to individual product pages for specifications, or contact us directly with any questions.
