This is a print of Faile's painting from our Off The Walls show in Paris. Much like the Kool Living print, Fantaisie (Fantasy with a French twist) is a luscious archival pigment ink on a heavyweight archival matte art paper, that captures all the detail of the canvas and painted love.

FAILE (Pronounced fail) is a Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil (born 1975) and Patrick Miller (born 1976). Since its inception in 1999, FAILE has been known for a wide-ranging multimedia practice recognizable for its explorations of duality through a fragmented style of appropriation and collage.

While painting and printmaking remain central to their approach, over the past decade FAILE has adapted its signature mass culture-driven iconography to an array of materials and techniques, from wooden boxes and window pallets to more traditional canvas, prints, sculptures, stencils, installation, and prayer wheels. FAILEs work is constructed from found visual imagery, and blurs the line between high" and low culture, but recent exhibitions demonstrate an emphasis on audience participation, a critique of consumerism, and the incorporation of religious media, architecture, and site-specific/archival research into their work.
