STRIKE HERE - DAVID PETR

Art Meets Its Match

Around mid-century, no journey across the country would be complete without a souvenir matchbook. Individually compositing over 90 unique matchbooks to control shadows and highlights, artist David Petr captures the character of roadside hotels, motels and restaurants in this ethereal and highly detailed photographic print.

The artwork is printed to the artist's exacting standards onto lustre photographic paper in order to produce the work's characteristic sharp color and detail. The art is then framed by a Master Framer, using all archival materials to preserve the artwork's quality. Produced in very limited number, and with only a few remaining, this remarkable image can bring a moment of travel, excitement and history into your life. Handmade in Winter Haven, Florida.

Limited edition of 10. All prints are signed and numbered by the artist.

David Petr

David Petr began crafting exclusive, larger-than-life photographic interpretations of iconic objects of our collective past in 2008. Rusted, dented and scratched items rich with patina are common topics explored under David's lens. The steadily growing body of work began with Petr's determined search for captivating objects from antique stores, flea markets, junk shops, online, and across the country. Hand-picked with an almost obsessive eye for quality, his found objects are orchestrated under the camera, often with several shots to create one final image. Shadows and highlights are precisely controlled, resulting in an image with uncompromising clarity. See all creations.
