Frames #7

Concentric ornate picture frames nest within one another, receding toward a luminous pale center, so the frame itself becomes the sole image rather than a border for one. The outer moldings show carved silver-gilt leaf-and-ribbon detailing, giving way through repeated inner rings to soft gradients of green and yellow that fade into near-white at the middle. Hung against a plain gray wall, the piece reads as a quiet, hypnotic study in repetition and light. Silkscreen, 2019, by Masahiro Masuda; Frames #7.
