WORSHIP #3

My first job out of school was on a trading floor playing a never ending game of probabilities. Days and nights filled with nodes, signals, decision trees, path-dependent outcomes and calculated probabilities in every flavor I could never have imagined. I spent eight years of my life in a two-block radius around 52nd and Park working on the kind of hopeless problems nobody in history had ever successfully solved; instead of helping me understand the world better like I thought I would in my naivete, my time there instead taught me the romance of the idea that some things are more beautiful if left never understood. That there was a peace in understanding there would be no answer. This series of surfer “movement studies” is a playful reminiscence of this part of my past, an ode to a formative period of my life overlaid on my San Diegan coastal upbringing. There are few things I have experienced in my life that are as pure and total in its disconnection with the world as sitting on a bar of foam on the great rippled plane of our oceans. It is my career’s antithesis. This humorous, almost interactive scribbling of pseudo-mathematical lines and nodes laying out all the nameless surfer’s possibilities represents this tension that continues to define me.

Albert Hong is a photographer and mixed media artist based in New York, NY. He began his career as an analyst on Wall Street after earning a BS from New York University’s Stern School of Business. Driven by his formative years spent on the harsh, hyper-connected trading floors of the financial sector, his work centers around the curious human need for escape and disconnection, and the intimate role nature plays in its ultimate fulfillment. His work’s driving intention remains to rekindle our fascination for, appreciation of, and above all, a desire to conserve our only home.

Shipping

ArtStar now has a 2 week lead time on all orders. Please note that lead times may change at any point in time due to changes in the COVID-19 pandemic and how it affects our production facilities’ operations. We will do our best to keep all orders running on track. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this ever changing situation.

Once your artwork is made by our printer, it must be allowed to outgas for 24 hours before being framed and/or shipped. ** Please note that we employ professional framers, shippers and handlers on all orders and only handle our prints with white gloves. While occasional damage by USPS or FedEx in transit is out of our control, we are happy to work with you to resolve any damage that does occur. However, damage in transit is relatively rare.

Return Policy

As our prints are custom made to order according to your preferences, all of our prints are final sale and non-returnable. We guarantee the quality of our prints, so if your order was shipped with a defect or arrived damaged, please contact us at hello@artstar.com.

Skip the trip to the framer and let ArtStar do the work with our One Click Framing.

Choose from our high-end white, black or natural frames, or opt for a more modern look by selecting facemounted to thick Plexiglas.

All frames include:

  • UV-blocking acrylic glass, which protects against 91% of UV rays.
  • Acid-free, archival mats and materials.
  • Taped backs to prevent dust from getting into the frame.
  • Strainers on the back to reinforce the structure of the frame.
  • Wire on the back of the frame for easy installation.
  • Facemounted works are hung on a metal French cleat. Installation instructions are included in the packaging.

Extra small and small frames have .75" molding 2" mats, and are 1.2" deep. Medium and large frames have 1" molding, 3" mats and are 2" deep. Mattless frames have a spacer to prevent the print from touching the acrylic.

We do not frame the extra large print sizes because they are too large to ship without risking damage.

ArtStar does not accept returns. 

Each order is custom-made just for you and, therefore, non-returnable. Shortly after your order is placed, our team of professional printers and framers goes to work. 

We print and frame everything in the US; we use the best paper on the market, only fine art printers, and we hand-assemble every frame.

ArtStar color matches every print to the artist's source file and fully authenticates every piece. We stand behind our art with a 100% quality guarantee.

If your work is damaged or you received the wrong image, please contact us at hello@artstar.com or call 212.995.5352 no later than 14 days after receiving your order. 

Make sure to include photos of the shipping box & detailed shots of the damage in your email, along with your order number. We will work with you to resolve the matter, but refunds or merchandise credit will not be issued.

Warehouses and 3rd party receivers:
All work must be checked and approved upon arrival if you ship artwork to a warehouse or 3rd partyreceiver, including art installers, framers, storage, or onsite contractors. 

Ownership of the work transfers once checked in at the warehouse and is no longer the responsibility of ArtStar.
