The materials

What you hang on the wall

One piece, made of four things: a moulding, an acrylic glaze, a metallic foil print and a rigid back. Here is each of them, photographed.

Mouldings

The eight finishes, for real

Classic 20 mm profile. Photographs from the workshop that makes our frames, not renderings.

Three-quarter view: the true depth of the frame and the shine of the foil.
Foil

Gold or silver

The print is not on white paper but on 350gsm metallic foil. Wherever the work is light, the foil shows through.

Gold foil

Warm shine. Skies, skin and light grounds glow; the blacks stay deep.

Silver foil

Cool shine. Sharpens greys and blues, suits northern works and drawings.

Result

One work, all eight frames

Gold foil, 40 × 50. The mouldings are photographed, not drawn.
