Microbarrio (Print)

$175.00

Microbarrio is a play on words between micro, which in Chile means bus, and the word neighborhood, a group of people who live in a community. It is a painting that essentially tries to capture the city of Valparaíso. The Mercedes Benz bus with those colors was very characteristic of the port city for several decades in the past. There is an intentional search for the precariousness given by the violent presence of the sea, and the solitude in which the dwellings, the houses are found, above this old public transport, but which protects them and gives them a space to exist.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this artwork original?	How is it framed?
Check the "Technique" field above: Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, or Fabric — a unique, one-of-a-kind original, delivered to us directly by the artist and framed in California. Handmade Woodblock Print, Silkscreen, Etching, or Lithograph — an original print. The artist carved or cut the matrix and pulled each impression by hand; there is no painting it was copied from. Each is signed and numbered by the artist within a limited edition. Fine Art Print, Giclée, Canvas Print, or Metal Print — a high-quality, museum-grade reproduction of an original work fabricated here in San Francisco.	Check the "Framing" field above for this piece. The design is our own — museum-grade, archival, and always real wood, never veneer or composite. The species suits the work — cherry, ash, maple, oak, poplar, or hinoki cypress. Chosen per artist, not to a house style. Where it's made — Kuriyagawa's and Namiki's frames are made in Japan. Everything else is framed in the United States, from hardwood milled by a third-generation family workshop that supplies exhibition frames to museums. Every piece arrives ready to hang, with hardware and a level included.
