Profile.
The profile
is looked
upon as a part of the art work.
The
profile is a
standard Asbjorn Lonvig profile, designed by Asbjorn Lonvig and
the
color of the
profile is determined based on the colors in the artwork
to
ensure the
highest aesthetically
standard.
The
artwork is
floating with 0.75 cm space between the
stretcher/canvas
and
the profile.
In
the corners the
profile is cut in 45 degree angles.
Corners of the
profile are assembled with a Lamello technique.
The
fact that the
stretcher is floating, means that the
stretcher
and
profile can
work independently without concern about temperature, humidity etc.

name and
sir name: "Asbjørn Lønvig" and the year
of
creation to the
right of the name - ex. "2003" in the wet paint.
In
the lower left
corner is scored specimen number and edition size - ex. specimen number
two of an
edition of five: "2/5".
If
there is only one
specimen there is scored "1/1".
The
scoring is done
by an identifiable tool.
The
signing is made
visible
by
using a
contrasting background color.
In
the upper left
corner of the backside of the painting there is a blob of paint
with
the artist's
fingerprint of his right thumb in wet paint.

The
