Richard Heeps' eye for capturing "Sign Porn" has meant he is extremely popular in this genre. He has a big collection of "Signs" from around the world and he is always adding to them. Many were taken in America, but many were not but they do have the same technicolor vibe. This set was put together from his broad range of work under the title 'Dream in Colour', here in this fun composition your eye gets taken around and into each artwork, the saturated colours bring a pop-art feel. 

This installation comprises of nine individually framed artworks which have been  composed in a way which takes your eye around the sequence. Once purchased you can take the predesigned set or create your own set from the whole Dream in Colour collection.

Each measures 40x47x3.5cm and is a limited edition of 25 and individually are priced at £150. We apply a £50 discount for each multiple of three purchased. Overall dimensions for a set of 9 is approx 130x150cm but they can be hung further apart or closer together. They are framed in a choice of black or white.

They can be displayed in other figurations to suit the room/space they are to be situated in. If you would like to purchase in other multiples to suit your space just get in touch for a bespoke purchase. We offer a complimentary consultation service to create the perfect set for your interior.

Sizes may vary slightly from image to image as we make each composition from the negative individually, either showing Richard's signature ragged edge (white border) as he prints full frame or showing the film rebate (black border) often showing the film make. Where the image size varies we adjust the window mount in order to maintain a frame size so like for like sizes can hang together.

 

Artwork Description 

Richard makes the c-type prints from negative in his own analogue colour darkroom in Cambridge. His paper of choice is Kodak Professional Endura Premier Gloss. When Richard has chosen to evolve the artwork, we work with Streamline Colour Lab. In our studio the print is dry-mounted to dibond which ensures a very flat image surface in both the short and long term. The prints are matted (window mounted) using a museum quality 100% cotton rag board especially manufactured to be compatible with the C-type archival Kodak photographic paper Richard uses. Richard does all mounting himself, using his precision engineering background to create the finished artwork. Eleanor fits the artworks to the frames. Traditionally photographic prints are signed and numbered on the back, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. They can be signed on the front of the mount by request. If you would like us to make a larger artwork that is possible, the sizes listed are the largest we can make in our darkroom but we can go larger with our printing partners so please get in touch to discuss it.

 

Framing Description

Our frames are hand-made in the UK by Menor Photographic Fine Art Printing & Framing Specialists in Hertfordshire. We offer a choice of black or white wooden box frames which have depth to suit the size of the picture, the artwork set back from the glass. Our black frames are made from matt ebony stained obeche, in which you can see the detail of the wood grain whereas our white frames are made from beech and the wood grain is not visible. The wood is sustainably forested for both variations of frame. Artglass AR 70™ is a premium anti-reflective glass used by the finest museums around the world. If you would like to present you artwork in another way, we offer the choice to buy an unframed print only and can advise you on other options or recommend reputable companies to carry out the work.
