The wonder of acrylic art

​“What is that?” Tap. Tap. Tap. The temptation to gently tap the surface of the art with the tip of the nail is difficult to resist for most. Every time I have an acrylic piece on display at a show or in my studio, it catches the eye and prompts questions. 
​For colorful photographs with depth and detail, acrylic is by far my favorite medium. 
​Acrylic makes images come to life, more so than traditional surfaces like fine-art paper or canvas. Details are perfectly preserved through its crystal-clear sharpness. Acrylic highlights vibrant colors and enhances the depth of the image, and the result is stunning to the eye.

Printing on acrylic is a multi-step process that requires special equipment and expertise. The digital image is printed directly on a pure acrylic sheet. The image is then cut and its edges are polished. The back is sealed with a black or white film backing in order to prevent light from shining through from the back and causing glare. The image takes on a glossy brilliance from edge to edge. Acrylic also has the advantage of being lightweight and impact-resistant compared to glass.

​Because it is so crisp and clean, acrylic also lends itself well to any space or style of decor. Acrylic art can be a standalone piece on a wall, or can be part of a gallery wall as a focal point. Depending on the choice of the image, the thickness of the acrylic and its hanging options, acrylic art can have an airy, minimalist look, or even give a space a modern, industrial flair. It works well in bright rooms, and has no problem being in damp or humid places like a bathroom.

​When you custom-order acrylic prints from my shop, you can choose between the thickness of the acrylic, as well as between two wall-mount options: (1) a floater frame option, in which the acrylic is backed with a wood frame and wire, so that the acrylic pops off the wall in a sleek way, or (2) metal "standoffs" placed in each corner, anchoring the acrylic to the wall and giving it a more modern look. By default, the photograph is printed all the way up to the edge of the acrylic, but if you prefer to have a margin around the image, you could make a request when ordering.
