Runaway Paradise (Teal)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Runaway Paradise (Teal) is a 2022 print in acrylic and silkscreen ink on Lenox 100 paper, sized 24 x 38 inches, with each colorway issued in an edition of only 8. Signed, stamped, and embossed, the Teal variant belongs to the studio's most tightly limited hand-worked tier, where minuscule runs make each impression highly individual.

Why It Matters
An edition of 8 per colorway places Runaway Paradise among the scarcest pieces in this group. The acrylic-over-silkscreen construction and Lenox 100 support signal a labor-intensive studio print, and the Teal designation marks a specific variant within an already tiny release, maximizing individuality.
Collector Perspective
With only 8 per colorway, this is a scarcity-driven acquisition where surface condition and hand-painted variation are paramount. Collectors should confirm the signature, stamp, and emboss, and recognize Teal as one variant among siblings. Its rarity makes it one of the more consequential prints in a Faile edition holding.
Historical Context
Faile's practice of issuing ultra-small hand-painted colorways gives dedicated collectors a genuine chase. Runaway Paradise (Teal) exemplifies this, applying the studio's aerosol-era layering instincts to a refined 2022 studio edition of just 8, on heavyweight archival Lenox stock.
