BIG CANVAS' TO GLAZE OR NOT, by Zippy on Jan 20, 2023 12:31:12 GMT 1, Perhaps hang and 'live' with the canvas for a few weeks first?
If it blends in with the colour on your wall then I would recommend a tray frame. In fact, I probably recommend a tray frame anyway. As you mentioned a nice, thin frame that compliments the piece really works well.
You can either get it framed right up to the edge or normally a framer will suggest a small gap as not all canvas's are perfectly straight on all 4 edges. You can then discuss how much space to leave around it as you will need to get a dry cloth or duster in there as they accumulate a lot of dust.
With regards to glazing, I prefer not to as you will get slight reflections and better to see the work in all its glory!
If a large piece (you mention over 1mx1m), it will be costly and unnecessary. You can go for a UV perspex so not as heavy but again, is it worth the extra cost to you?
Happy to take to PM to show you examples etc..?
