Framing
Choosing the adequate frame for an artwork is an important and difficult decision to make, due to the fact that there is a wide range of framing techniques and, on the other hand, the frame itself must match both the work of art and its background. Thus, it becomes almost impossible to choose a frame. While speaking of framing, one may say that it is an art in itself.
ELITE ART GALLERY’s experts provide consultation services destined to help one choose frames for paintings, photographs, watercolours, pastel, mixed techniques, for works on canvas, cardboard, paper, wood etc. The choice of the frames will highlight the qualities of the artworks and single them out within their host-environments. An adequate choice of painting frames can endow an art collection with a noble, classical touch reminiscent of famous ones or it can put together an array of paintings by establishing their visual unity and thus creating a collection.
For the framing, the Gallery’s expert will make allowance for the element supporting the artwork (wall, easel or pedestal), the size, colour and texture of the wall, the arrangement of the host-environment and its luminosity etc. Therefore, the Gallery’s expert will suggest a framing by which both the painting and the host-environment will benefit, depending on the decoration pattern, the colour and texture of the frame, as well as on its brightness and the passe-partout’s. The framing of the artwork will also consider the requirements of long-term protection against chemical and physical factors that can affect it in time.
