About the Artwork

Deep Valley is a 48" x 10" mixed media painting by David Graff, created on panel. This work's elongated proportions emphasize the vertical sweep of the valley, making it a striking focal point for any space. Its timeless blend of abstraction and natural imagery embodies Graff's distinctive style and ability to evoke a sense of place. It captures a serene mountain valley transitioning into a tranquil water surface, surrounded by the soft glow of twilight. The dark, detailed forest at the valley's base creates a bold contrast against the muted tones of the mountains and sky above. Using a combination of Dutch metal and transparent colour glazes, Graff achieves a shimmering interplay of light and texture that shifts with the room's lighting. The high-gloss acrylic resin finish enhances these qualities, creating a dynamic visual experience that invites viewers to explore the scene's depth. 

This changing appearance and its glowing metallic elements create a captivating focal point for any space. Deep Valley draws you to explore its textured and layered narrative. 

Viewing this artwork in person is recommended, as its reflective finish and dynamic play of light are difficult to capture in photographs. Remote Zoom, Teams, or FaceTime viewings are also available upon request.

CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK

Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.

Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.

Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.

Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.

Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.

Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
