A Tribute to Connection and Compassion During the Pandemic
Hearts was created by Kyle Lucks during the early days of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic while under a stay-at-home order in St. Louis. Deeply moved by stories of love, gratitude, and human creativity that emerged worldwide, Kyle stepped away from his usual portrait subjects to paint this five-foot composition of vibrant hearts. Dedicated to the frontline healthcare workers who faced immense challenges to keep communities safe, this piece stands as a timeless symbol of compassion, resilience, and hope.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Hearts
In late March 2020, life in St. Louis had come to a standstill under strict stay-at-home orders. Like many, Kyle found the uncertainty overwhelming, but he was also struck by countless stories of people expressing love and support in inventive, heartfelt ways despite physical distance. This outpouring of compassion inspired him to create Hearts, a meaningful departure from his typical portraiture.
This large acrylic painting, filled with overlapping, vividly colored hearts, was completed after 32 days in lockdown. It serves not only as a response to the fear and isolation of the time but also as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of healthcare workers everywhere. During its original release, Kyle donated 100% of the painting’s print proceeds to support those on the medical frontlines, reflecting the artwork’s true spirit of gratitude and solidarity.
Hearts continues to resonate as a visual reminder of how love, empathy, and creativity carried people through one of the most challenging moments in recent history.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
