⭐️ Frame of the Week ⭐️
FOTW, this one’s a bit tricky, it’s an original painting, recently acquired by the Fairlight Hall Estate. We believe it’s acrylic, but certainly painted with a water-based medium. The richness and depth of the dark tones in it means reflections can be high, but it had to be glazed to protect the surface of the artwork, it would have benefited from our Optima acrylic glazing but that is an extremely expensive process, perhaps that’s something they’ll come back and have done at a later date... The overall frame size measures over 65”, so it’s BIG!
The artwork has been float-mounted in a relatively deep frame section on conservation grade board. It’ll be out for delivery to Fairlight Hall within the next few days 👌
For all framing enquiries send us a DM or call our guild commended team on 01580 881247 🖼
Finally, voting closes tomorrow for the awards and we have been shortlisted in the best small art gallery category and we would love to win! Head to https://sussex.muddystilettos.co.uk/vote/ to cast your vote 🗳 🙏

⭐️ Frame of the Week ⭐️

This week we are featuring a large piece by Florence Peake, Florence is a London based artist internationally recognised for her solo and group performance works intertwined with an extensive visual arts practice, this piece, RITE-Orange on Green, was taken from an extensive body of work, but most memorable for me was a piece at the DeLaWarr Pavillon a few years ago that involved 6 tonnes of wet clay that remained in the gallery after having been moulded by dancers as they moved in the performance entitled RITE

Really pleased to have had this piece here for framing, glazed behind our museum grade acrylic offering 99% UV protection and incredibly light

⭐️ Frame of the Week ⭐️

This week’s features a lovely miniature acrylic on a 10x15cm panel, it’s in a guilt hand-finished frame with genuine gold leaf applied using traditional water gilding techniques.

On this frame we’ve laid the gold onto a black clay bole and distressed it back, quite severely.
