FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Optical Illusion" by the English School in the 20th century evokes a range of emotions. At first glance, we see a clown with a seemingly cheerful and smiling face, radiating happiness and joy. However, upon closer inspection, we realize that this image is not as it appears. The deceptive nature of this optical illusion becomes apparent as we notice tears streaming down the clown's face. The juxtaposition of crying and smiling creates an intriguing contradiction that challenges our perception. Is the clown truly happy or masking his true feelings behind a painted smile? This reversible portrayal invites us to reflect on our own emotions and question how well we can hide our sadness beneath a facade of cheerfulness. The melancholic undertones in this artwork evoke feelings of sadness and unhappiness, contrasting sharply with the initial impression of gaiety. It serves as a reminder that even those who seem merry may be harboring inner turmoil or experiencing moments of melancholia. Through its clever play on emotions, "Optical Illusion" prompts us to consider the complexities within ourselves and others. It reminds us that appearances can be deceiving and encourages empathy towards those who may be silently suffering amidst their outward expressions of happiness. This thought-provoking piece captures both the joys and sorrows inherent in human emotion, leaving viewers captivated by its enigmatic power.
