Artwork Details
This panel was created by Image 360 of Traverse City using a high-tech method of reproducing original artwork and printing it directly onto lightweight, aluminum panels. A specialized coating weatherproofs the panel — it has hung on the GAAC’s exterior wall for almost a year, and is as bright and true as the day they were delivered. The panel’s true and brilliant colors must be seen in-person to be fully appreciated. All 5 panels may be viewed at any time before the auction.
NOTE: The panels’ reproduced images fare best and retain their vibrancy if hung on a wall that does not receive constant, direct sunlight.
The panel is hung using a French cleat system with the addition of double-sided tape to insure the panel stays in place. The mounting clips and tape are hidden on the back of the panels for a clean appearance. Once the lower, doubled-sided tape is released from the back bottom of the panel, two people can easily lift the panel, which weigh approximately 25 – 35 pounds. The panel is rigid and won’t wobble after it is removed from the wall.
The GAAC retains the wall-mounted fixture [metal strip] from which this panel is hung. The French cleat – which is permanently affixed to the back of the panel – is included in the sale. The winning bidder will need to provide the wall-mounted fixture that remains on the GAAC walls. For more details about the metal fixture, please contact IMAGE 360, (231) 933-7446.
Artist Bio
Leelanau County artist Margo Burian’s collages were selected to be showcased in the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s 2024-25 Outdoor Gallery exhibition, an annual, invitational exhibit. Burian’s collages are rooted in the idea of Ordinary Magic, or delight. They were reproduced on five, 5-foot-square, weather-resistant aluminum panels created by Image 360 of Traverse City, Michigan. The panels are installed on the GAAC’s south and west exteriors walls.
Burian is a well-known painter of atmospheric land- and waterscapes, and historic farmsteads. The desire to communicate ideas in other media and materials isn’t new to her. “I’m drawn to collage because of its versatility and within that versatility; the opportunity to explore ideas and materiality,” Burian said. “More than 400 sheets of paper were used to create specific palettes for each image.”
The GAAC’s Outdoor Gallery exhibition began in 2020. The gallery is a venue for the exhibition of visual art, and features the original work of a single artist.
