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…

"Frakenstein" by Drew Struzan. Pic provided by "timebandit" from expressobeans.com

“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!”

"Moulin de la Gallette" by Roedel. Pic provided by Brampton Picture Framing, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK

“Perfect ornate antique frame for this classic looking piece. Framed by James Ashton at Brampton Picture Framing, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK. The frame blends in so well with the French-styled artwork, letting the orange colored dress of the main image pop out.”

Emek decemberists azuyderd 2

"Decemberists" by Emek. Pic provided by "azuyderd" from expressobeans.com

“This is probably my favorite Emek gig poster. I like how the extra-wide matte and frame opens up the image of the whale. It adds to the illusion that the whale really is floating out there”

malleus fairytale db23

"Fairytale" by Malleus. Pic provided by "db23" from expressobeans.com

“Fairytale will always be a special print to me because it’s the print that got me into print/poster collecting. Db23 did it right in mounting this without a matte in my opinion. It doesn’t need one as the image is perfectly balanced with the nice ornate gold frame around it.”

"Trolley Hunters" by Banksy. Pic provided by "charlesdemar" from expressobeans.com

“I love the way Banksy always manages to capture relevant social criticisms, and blends them with his sardonic wit. This stripped down black and white image is very powerful in meaning, and needs no other embellishing frame surrounding it. Nicely done.”

"Saint Jeremiah" by Jeremy Geddes. Pic provided by "spen640" from expressobeans.com

“The way a Geddes painting looks just like a photograph is remarkable. Framing this piece in a simple, “hang it in your office” frame is just right.”

"Summer Lady" by Chuck Sperry. Pic provided by "Furthur Frames in Denver, CO"

“Chuck Sperry’s Summer Lady poster for the Widespread Panic tour is the Gig Poster of 2011 IMO. This is framed by the master framers over at Furthur Frames in Denver, CO. And they always get it right.”

"Hard Times" by Kenny Random. Pic provided by "misterx" at expressobeans.com

“Sometimes simple is just better. In this case a simple white frame suits this piece the best. It doesn’t clutter up the art work and keeps the focus on Snoopy, poor lil dog.”
