Custom Framing Fine Art By Local Artists
As local custom picture framers we always feel a special bond with artists from our city here in San Francisco. Josie Iselin is one of the artists we know for many years and have been framing her art for a long time too. Besides the fact that we get to frame the beautiful art Josie […]
Framed Portrait of Volodymyr Zelenskyy by Joan Baez
Grateful for the opportunity to frame this portrait of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, painted by Joan Baez. The portrait was released in a limited-edition series of 250 prints signed and numbered by the artist with all proceeds to benefit the International Medical Corps. Our client was looking for a natural looking maple color frame and we love […]
Large Frida Kahlo Canvas Frame
We just finished this large Frida Kahlo canvas frame! We wanted to support the colorful painting with its own dynamic paint dripping with just a skinny wood frame and chose a dark walnut. Also, meet Spenser! Spenser is one of our framers at Underglass with a great sense of design, solid knowledge of framing materials […]
Frame Design Picking Up On Artist’s Geometric Abstraction
Our Frame Choice for this Diebenkorn print picks up on the artist’s geometric abstraction of the cityscape. A slight beveled frame continues the simplified shapes of the city. @sfmoma is celebrating Diebenkorn’s 100th Birthday and “Cityscape #1” can be seen at the museum. Also, learn more @diebenkornfoundation about #RichardDiebenkorn (1922-1993). At Underglass Custom Framing, we […]
Fabric Mat And Traditional Frame For This Watercolor
When we frame fine art, like this watercolor, we love to hear what our clients would like the frame design to be like. We loved the idea of a traditional picture frame for this one, the texture of the fabric mat really gives it a nice touch! As always, we aim for museum quality and […]
Using Shape and Color in Frame Design
We do pick up a lot on shapes and color in our frame designs! For this piece we used the shapes of the roofs as a guide for the actual frame shape. The art itself is pretty busy when you look close enough so we floated the paper on a mat and gave it a […]
Happy Birthday Keith Haring!
Happy Birthday Keith Haring! He would have been 64 today. We got to frame these two portraits of the artist! This first image is a photograph by Herb Ritts and the second image is a Shepard Fairey Letterprint. We chose frames that worked with the print and paper colors, keeping the art the center of […]
Fine Art Framing Ideas For The Weekend
The weekend is here and we have a couple fine art framing ideas for you! We just finished these two wall frames! Both art prints were framed with a complimenting frame that have good presence. We then chose a mat that guides your eye away from the frame, over a small fillet to the art. […]
Framing Your Fine Art Large Painting
Framing your large painting? No problem, we love to work on designing a custom frame for any art. For this oil painting by @veridiana_leite , Vigilia, 2018, we loved the flow of shapes and forms and the color palette. So we chose a light wood floater frame with a small gap that clearly separates art […]
