Sandy Clark Exotic Elements II Framed Art Print

This item is a commercially produced decorative art print titled 'Exotic Elements II' by artist Sandy Clark. The artwork features a contemporary botanical and still-life composition with warm, earthy tones including ochre, burnt sienna, deep browns, and muted creams. The imagery includes stylistic renderings of foliage, such as palm fronds or tropical leaves, arranged in a layered, collage-like format with silhouettes of vessels or bottles. The print includes a facsimile signature of the artist, 'Sandy Clark', on the right side of the image. It is professionally presented with a double-matting system: a thin inner dark burgundy or rust-colored mat and a wide outer linen-textured cream mat, provide depth and contrast. The assembly is protected behind clear glass and housed in a traditional molded frame featuring a bronze or antiqued gold finish with subtle decorative piping or beading detail. This piece likely dates from the late 1990s to early 2000s, typical of home decor retail trends of that era. The frame shows minor signs of handling but appears structurally sound without significant chips or cracks in the glazing. The craftsmanship is consistent with high-quality commercial framing, designed for residential or office decoration.
