Gramercy on giant paintings...before the last ones even left the building!
The odds are astronomically against this, but lo, while the last test of my framing mettle still took up valuable real estate in the small Pine Street shop, in walked three oversized 3-dimensional canvases for a prestigious Graduate Program art show. What moulding was selected? Gramercy! Oh, but also not your ordinary fit. Gramercy Shadowbox was to become Gramercy Deep Floating Frame, just needed to turn the moulding upside-down and paint the bottom, which is now the top. No problem.
Floating frames look awesome on contemporary abstracts. They are a different construction than conventional frames, they do not fit on top of the art and hang over it, but rather they reveal ALL of the canvas top, and just cover the sides. They can also be positioned a distance away from the canvas to allow a glimpse of the canvas sides (but this is only done with finished canvas sides or gallery-wraps). This new job would place the frame directly against unfinished canvas sides.
freaking gorgeous
and the art's not bad either.
