"Andrew Bird" by Aaron Horkey. Pic provided by "decker3984" from expressobeans.com

“Framing this Horkey piece can be a bit of a challenge and amazing results were achieved by stepping out of the box on this one. Black matte, dark worn frame, surrounding a prominently solid red piece works surprisingly well.”

Methane dave matthews band

"Dave Matthews Band" by Methane. Pic provided by Joseph G.

“According to Joseph, this poster was the subject of some intense arguing with his girlfriend due to her dislike of this band. However it also is a symbol of their commitment together as they both moved to Los Angeles from 2 different points of the world to be together and attended this concert in Los Angeles early in their stay. Excellent!”

“There isn’t much to say about this Tyler Stout piece other than I’m sure when he was creating this piece, he had his sights set on ‘Stun’. You can wrap this metal Robocop piece in a garbage bag and it’ll just look as good.”

Weekend Features: Framed Art Phenomena 4

Framed Art Phenomena

When choosing the correct frame for your art piece, it’s almost a joint collaboration with the artist itself. The artists work is like the naked soul and the frame/matte is like the outer clothing. The wrong frame, and the piece can suffer. But when everything is done well, the results can often be like an epiphany…

“Already an instant classic, Struzan’s “Frankenstein” rests comfortably it its dark-spiny framed lair. It’s of special note to point out that this particular print is #1 out of 325. WOW!”
