Untitled (Matte Finish)
14" x 14"
mixed media on panel
About the Artwork
Untitled is a 14" x 14" mixed media painting by David Graff. The work captures the quiet tension between land and sky, where textured golden reeds rise against a deep, shifting blue horizon. Graff’s glowing surface and controlled abstraction merge natural and emotional landscapes, inviting the viewer to linger in the moment between stillness and movement.
Using his signature blend of metallic leafing and pigments, Graff builds subtle layers that shimmer softly beneath a refined matte finish. This finish removes glare while maintaining the artist’s distinctive depth and texture, resulting in a calm, even surface that enhances the interplay of light and form. The work reflects Graff’s ongoing exploration of memory, reflection, and the balance between design and emotion.
For the best experience, viewing this artwork in person is recommended, as the surface qualities and tonal subtleties are difficult to fully capture in photographs. Remote Zoom, Teams, or FaceTime viewings are also available upon request.

Accessibility Description
The square artwork features a horizon dividing the panel into two tonal zones. The upper half consists of rich, layered shades of blue with visible texture and variation, resembling a moody sky. The lower portion is filled with tall, vertical strokes of gold and ochre that suggest grasses or reeds rising from the earth. These golden strokes stand out sharply against the darker background, catching light at different angles. The matte finish softens reflections, allowing the texture and detail of the surface to remain clearly visible. The panel has deep, finished edges, giving the piece a sculptural presence with a calm, even surface.Proudly Canadian

Carrier coverage and additional insurance
Artwork ships with the basic coverage included by the carrier. This coverage is subject to the carrier’s terms and limits and may not cover the full value of the artwork. Clients may arrange additional insurance themselves or ask the Gallery for a quote for coverage under the Gallery’s policy before shipment.
Exchanges
Ordinary goods are final sale, except where required by law. The Gallery may, at its discretion, offer an exchange or store credit; a request does not guarantee approval.
Request a discretionary exchange in writing within seven calendar days of the invoice or Bill of Sale date for in-gallery purchases, or within seven calendar days of delivery for shipped purchases within Canada or internationally. Obtain authorization before returning goods. Approved returns must meet the condition, documentation and packaging requirements in our Return & Exchange Policy.
Gift certificates, commissions, special orders and layaway/payment-plan purchases are excluded from the ordinary discretionary exchange policy. Separately agreed terms and statutory rights remain unaffected. The accepted quote and accompanying terms govern your transaction; later website updates do not change an existing agreement.
Damage reporting
Inspect the artwork and packaging promptly. Report damage or discrepancies as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of delivery or pickup, with available photographs of the artwork, packaging and shipping label. Retain all packaging while the issue is investigated. Missing this requested reporting period does not by itself remove statutory rights. Carrier and insurer requirements depend on the actual service or policy. Read our Return & Exchange Policy.
Artwork Care
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.
