Where speed meets heritage
Photo Finish captures the charged instant before victory is decided. It is painted on an authentic Hermès silk scarf that features three jockeys marked 18, 3, and 7, referencing the year Hermès was founded in Paris. Two horses surge toward the finish line above the design, rendered in layered, semi transparent acrylic, appearing suspended between strides.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Photo Finish
Photo Finish is painted on an authentic Hermès silk scarf that features three jockeys racing forward in a bold, geometric composition. Numbers 18, 3, and 7 stride toward the finish line beneath the surface, their flat fields of color and simplified forms creating a visual rhythm rooted in graphic design. The jockeys merge seamlessly with their mounts, reinforcing the idea that horse and rider function as a single unit in motion.
Over this foundation, two horses are painted in layered, semi transparent acrylic, built up gradually in a watercolor-like approach. Restricting the palette to deep blue gray and white allows the scarf’s pastel geometry and striking red accents to show through, creating depth without overpowering the original design. Kyle’s signature polka dots punctuate the surface, adding texture and subtle disruption to the smooth geometry below.

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.
