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.

wow fantastic friend for you who are art lovers this work called "Revelation" is very well in your office, really that the friend @ reinhard-schmid is very talented and does his job very well. You have to give him honors for having done a work as wonderful as this one, it is very striking and draws much attention to all the square parts that are human like the face, the biceps and the hands and the rest of the body is as if it were metal robot type This is a truly majestic work that you have good tastes for art because this painting is perfect. Besides that the way you framed it was perfect with that simple black frame with glass. I congratulate you friend for acquiring this work of sensational art, this will give a wonderful aspect to your work office. I really liked the final result of the painting too.
Such an amazing artwork and so many detail to loose your mind in it:)
so far my art is still far below this level. But I do believe that it is slowly growing. It will still take years before I will be able to produce something like this but please check my blog anyway.
Amazing collection and great choices. I love that piece of @reinhard-schmids's.
