Frameless Art Bares Its Soul

The leaf prints are just fantastic....and I can't help but be drawn to the "swag" bunting of tennis rackets for a little boys room....how perfect!

I have collected various clothes hangers. One of these years I will have a show of small paintings attached to these hangers.

From an artist's viewpoint the decision to frame or not to frame is usually based on a number of factors- style of work, economy, type of support and media used, initial display space and personal preference. Unframed pieces have a much more contemporary feel and work well for graphic and abstract and non -representational work.

When work is created on a cradled panel with deep sides (11/2 to 2 inches) there is the option to paint the sides which make the work stand out from the wall and appear more sculptural (object driven). A frame confines your eye to the painting and is a focusing mechanism. No frame allows your eye to move freely and consider the work in relationship to the environment where it is hung. No framing also allows works that are hung near each other to " interact " visually. When I frame my mixed media pieces I have a very specific reason for doing so- usually it is to lead or restrict the viewer.

We love frameless art and use it all the time in home stagings, like this vintage original oil we found.

Frameless art looks so classy and modern - I love it. We actually specialize in frameless photo displays at PrintedArt.com (http://www.printedart.com)

We have a huge selection of photos and we print is various sizes, mounting under acrylic with an aluminum dibond backing for a durable, easy to clean, frameless design. For a matte finish or a more traditional look, we also mount on dibond without acrylic or on stretch canvas. You should come take a look!
