Can we see your Frames? , by Deleted on Aug 13, 2020 13:10:48 GMT 1, I think these are framed perfectly for display. I'm very averse to overdone frames that compete with the art itself. I know it's to some people's taste to have coloured spacers and multiple mounts, but you should never notice the frame before the art.

Here is an example of a wild frame but that still doesn't take the attention away from the artwork.
Thank you a lot for your feedback Whatilike

We agree but hope to see darker oak, Maybe artworks displayed with white spacers and so on Here is an example of a wild frame but that still doesn't take the attention away from the artwork.

Can we see your Frames? , by John The Badgers on Aug 13, 2020 18:54:37 GMT 1, Firstly Originalpaperworks, really like the way you currently have them framed. Would it be possible to let me have the spec? I have something that would really suit this natural wood you are using there.
As to my contribution, have spent quite a bit on framing, in different ways. I use Gary at MFM who I cant recommend highly enough.
He did a couple of bits a while ago, he suggested an aluminium profile which I have not used before.
Gives a really neat, sharp finish? The profiles can be quite 'slim', so as Whatilike says, doesn't detract from the item you are displaying.
Apologies for the quality of the picture, but this a small postcard size item I wanted framing, the profiles used are depth 25mm, front face 5mm -
All the best.

Surely the mount should be bigger than the frame. I'm not a fan of very thin mounts.

I like the wider bottom mount on the Lucas Price, it works well.
I understand this is the way a print should be framed, but you rarely see it anywhere these days.

Not necessarily “should”. But it’s certainly how framing used to be done most of the time in the past. It has rather fallen out of favour these days.
My understanding is that it was done in the past to correct the perspective when some works were not hung at eye level, but I can’t say with certainty that that’s right.
End of the day, framing is a matter of personal taste. Some people frame things in a way that I think looks bad (though I wouldn’t be so rude as to tell them). Whatever makes the owner happy.

Interesting, thanks. It wouldn’t suit my taste at all. I don’t like large frames. I think they detract from the artwork. A frame should subtly complement the art, not compete with it for attention imo. As such simple black or white box frames are what most of my art wears.

Yeah, 'should' was probably the wrong word to use. I think it was more a traditional method used for framing in portrait. I've been asked by framers before if I want the mount larger at the bottom, but never went with it. I will definitely consider it though in the future.

As such simple black or white box frames are what most of my art wears. I would agree with all of this, to a large extent. Except and I guess in my opinion only, depending on the art the way the frame complements it doesn't always need to be subtle. I think that if you get it right you can be quite bold without it detracting. I generally use black or white box frames, and nearly always with white spacers. However, I've been more 'adventurous' with a few pieces. Would fully understand if they weren't to everyone's taste but I think they suit the art and fit well in the home we live in. |
