About

Slow Down Freight Train is an example of one of Piper’s 1940s semi-abstract blues-inspired works. Through oil paints, Piper depicts a migrating African-American man with overexaggerated features. His outstretched neck reaches for the light to the right and signifies new beginnings and hope. The flat, subdued color palette includes an array of greens, with the dark green of the land being the same as that on his skin, physically connecting him to the homeland in which he is leaving. The stark redness of his shirt against all of the green and brown hues represents a new start and the courage he holds to move away.

Custom Framing

We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.

"The quality is what really caught my eye. All the other stuff was great, but it all was about my love of Wright being so far ahead of his time and then you completed the circle with prints and weight of paper that blew me away."
