A 'Revelation' in My Office

@reinhard-schmid Joins the STEEM Office Gallery

My STEEM Office Gallery continues to grow. This time it grew very big... I recently received a large (23"x 52.5") print of a painting from the incredibly talented @reinhard-schmid. The original 'Revelation' painting was 40" x 90", created using acrylics and oil on canvas. It took roughly 3,000 hours for @reinhard-schmid to complete.

@reinhard-schmid has been a professional artist since the 1980's. He has a unique style of work that involves creating surreal images on the reverse-side of glass. From the moment I first saw @reinhard-schmid's STEEM feed, I knew I needed to acquire a piece for my STEEM-based Art Gallery. I was absolutely thrilled to see such a talented artist using the STEEM platform to showcase their work. @reinhard-schmid and I negotiated for many weeks and finally struck an excellent STEEM-exclusive deal. And with that, the One Million Dollar piece was shipped over seas.

The 'Revelation' was a perfect addition to a crypto-currency inspired art gallery. It's a $1,000,000 note that portrays the false sense of humanity that exists within the current centralized financial system. Behind the crumpled paper lies the machine that runs it all.

Framing

I got the piece professionally framed, as the print was very large and fragile. I used a simple black frame with museum-grade glass for ultra-light protection. The print is held in place with a 2-inch black matting. Unfortunately this matting covers up the torn edges of the bill, but at the same time it will protect the piece in it's original state without having to mount it onto a backboard. After 2 weeks in the shop, the print was ready to find a home on the wall.

Hanging

The 'Revelation' is hung in the top left-hand corner of the wall facing my desk. It is MASSIVE! Without the blank space my office now feels much smaller. I was pretty damn impressed with my hanging ability... It came out straight and I did it all by myself.
