Matching Frames to Art Styles
Different art styles require different framing approaches. Understanding these relationships will help you create stunning presentations that enhance your artwork.
Contemporary Art
Contemporary artwork often benefits from minimal, clean frames. Think thin metal frames or simple wood frames in neutral colors. The focus should be on the art, not the frame.
Traditional Paintings
Traditional paintings can handle more ornate frames. Consider classic wood frames with decorative details that complement the period and style of the artwork.
Photography
Photographs typically look best in simple, clean frames. Metal frames or thin wood frames work well, especially in black or white to create a gallery-like appearance.
Abstract Art
Abstract art can be framed in many ways, but often benefits from frames that don't compete with the artwork's complexity. Simple, neutral frames work well.
