Gauntlet Gallery — Kai & Sunny Print Index
Boundless Glow
Summary
Boundless Glow is a 2020 show print, hand-pulled in eight colors on 100% cotton Somerset radiant white 410gsm and hand-deckled by the artists. Square at 67 x 67 cm (26.3 x 26.3 inches), signed, numbered and stamped, it carries one of the richest color builds in this group across an edition of 100.
Why It Matters
The eight-color separation is notable: more screens mean more registration passes and greater tonal complexity, which raises both the production difficulty and the visual payoff. As a designated show print, it is tied to an exhibition moment, giving it a contextual anchor beyond the studio's standard releases.
Collector Perspective
Eight colors on heavyweight Somerset with a hand-deckled edge is a strong quality signature; collectors should look for crisp registration across all layers. The edition of 100 is moderate. Show-print status can add narrative value when the associated exhibition is documented, so retaining any accompanying materials supports provenance.
Historical Context
Kai & Sunny frequently produced editions tied to their exhibitions, and Boundless Glow's designation as a show print places it within that practice. The luminous, radiating treatment aligns with their recurring interest in light, glow, and organic expansion.

Collecting Kai & Sunny at Gauntlet Gallery
What Kai & Sunny works should I collect?
Their signed, numbered silkscreen editions, often featuring metallic inks, blind embossing, and hand-finished detail, are the heart of the market. Foil and layered prints in small runs are especially collectible. Gauntlet Gallery selects pieces in pristine condition with crisp embossing and complete signing.
How is authenticity handled?
Kai & Sunny editions are offered with documented studio provenance and the duo's signature and numbering. We photograph the specific piece you will receive, including signature, edition number, and any embossing, so every detail is verifiable before you buy.
What drives value?
Small edition sizes, special finishes (foil, embossing, hand-work), condition, and provenance from a documented release drive value. Sold-out, low-numbered, and specially finished editions command the strongest premiums.
