Painting Frames "Francisca" |
| • Serie: Apenrua • Width: 40mm • Height: 39mm |
| Francisca is a modern shadow-gap frame with a clean, almost architectural appearance. Its sturdy wooden profile is finished with a maple veneer in the dark brown ‘Mooreiche’ shade. The visible grain brings the calm surfaces to life with subtle, warm nuances. As the surface has a matt finish, it gently reflects the light without competing with the artwork for attention. The 40 mm wide and 39 mm high profile is designed as an angular shape that is open at the inside. A shadow gap remains between the artwork and the frame. As a result, the artwork appears to float within the frame, whilst the dark recess precisely traces its outline. This frame design follows the tradition of presenting modern canvas paintings: since the classical modernist period, it has been particularly prized because it leaves the painted edges of the artwork visible and does not require a passe-partout. We are happy to recommend Francisca for abstract compositions in earthy colours or for minimalist landscapes, whose sense of depth is enhanced by the dark brown. It looks at its best when the subject has a little space around it. We particularly like to see it in clearly arranged living rooms, studies or gallery walls featuring natural materials. |
