Questions & ANswers
Q: What is an AP?
An AP is an Artist proof and is the most valuable in the series.
It’s the one that is the final go-ahead then the edition gets printed. An artist holds on to the final one and usually keeps it to resell in the future or keep within the family. An AP is usually worth 30% more than the rest of the edition.
Q: How long do neons last?
Neon can last 20 years of being left on constantly.
Q: How to care for diamond dust?
Diamond dusted artworks are especially delicate and should be handled with care. It is normal to have some diamond dust fall out. We recommend having your work framed with us to ensure the delicate nature of the piece is handled with proper care.
Q: How to hang artworks?
Each print, canvas and neon will have 2 eyelets ready for 2 screws. For any customisation as per your space, please reach out to the team.
Q: What is AR70 glass?
AR70 Glass is anti-reflective glass which blocks 70% of UV. This provides much better clarity and protection of the print compared to standard glass. This is the only anti-reflective glass we provide.

3.1 Works may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the Works on our website, social media platforms or in our brochure are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours and details accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours and/or details or a picture in our brochure accurately reflects the colour and/or details of the Works. The Works may vary slightly from those images, and you accept that the Works may appear differently.
