Som et respektfuldt og lovligt alternativ tilbyder vi skræddersyede, håndmalede kunstværker inspireret af originalen. Vores dygtige og professionelle kunstnere studerer omhyggeligt originalens stil, stemning og kunstneriske essens for at skabe et nyt, unikt værk, der fremkalder den samme følelse – samtidig med at det forbliver en original skabelse i egen ret.

§ 3Commentary

Over the years, the Taj Mahal has become an icon of immortal love. This is a work, composed of rows of miniature steel Taj Mahals which function as bricks that create a huge wall – a visual obstruction. Sudarshan Shetty asks us to consider what the making of a cultural icon does to the object that is iconicized. The monumental wall is composed of hundreds of souvenir Taj Mahals. In contrast to the magnificence of the marble mausoleum, the steel models symbolize modernity and mechanization. Simultaneously, the idea of an original is disrupted as the monument turns into a mould to enable mindless re-productions. Since certain expressions of love become generic – endlessly used and abused, manipulated and manufactured – the economization of a universal emotion is clearly implicated in this installation. One recalls the encased models of the Taj Mahal being sold outside the mausoleum complex. These seem to stand as urns that ‘contain’ the majestic structure, continually invoking the visual experience that has lapsed into memory. Shetty converses with the memory-image that has entered public consciousness. The accompanying video shows the Taj melting as though overheated by the expectations placed upon it. This work demonstrates Shetty’s longstanding interest in ‘de-constructing’ the human experience and cultural convention.

Indramning af reproduktion

-

For kunstværker eller reproduktioner, der er større end 105 cm (ca. 41 tommer) på en hvilken som helst side, vil rammen blive leveret som et adskilt sæt. Denne metode sikrer sikker levering og forhindrer skader under transport.

Professionel montering er påkrævet – dette er ikke et gør-det-selv produkt.
Sættet skal samles, og lærredet skal opspændes af en erfaren professionel indrammer ved brug af trælim (ikke medfølger), en lærredsspænder og klemmer til at holde blindrammen vinkelret, mens limen tørrer. Forkert samling eller ujævn spænding af lærredet kan beskadige kunstværket permanent og er ikke dækket af vores garanti.

Alle massive trælister er inkluderet, præcist tilpasset i størrelsen.
Samles med de medfølgende skruer samt trælim til hjørneforbindelserne, som ikke medfølger og skal anskaffes af din indrammer.
Professionelt værktøj er påkrævet og medfølger ikke: en lærredsstrækker (spændetang) og klemmer til at holde blindrammen vinkelret, mens limen tørrer.

Vigtigt:
Hjørneforbindelserne kræver trælim, listerne skal holdes fast med skruetvinger, indtil limen er helt tør, og opspænding af lærredet på den samlede ramme kræver en lærredsspænder. Ingen af disse dele er inkluderet i sættet. Vi anbefaler, at du kontakter en erfaren professionel indrammer, før du bestiller denne størrelse.
