Custom Framing Australian Aboriginal Art

Australian aboriginal art is a unique blend of ancient and modern styles. It is a fusion of indigenous culture and western styles and is a blend of the artifacts, traditions of the past and the essence of art that is alive today. The term is also commonly used to refer to the body of work created by Indigenous Australians that exhibits these influences. It includes the works of contemporary artists who draw on traditional aspects of Aboriginal culture, as well as more recent creations incorporating more abstract forms. In recent years, Australian aboriginal art has become more popular with collectors because it has been shown in various exhibitions around the world. This has led to many people wanting to own some for themselves.

Getting custom frames for your Abroginal art is a great way to add value and style to it, and at the same time preserve it. Custom framing allows you to have your artworks framed in a way that complements your personality and style.

• For valued artworks like aboriginal artworks, it is recommended to have it stretched and framed in a box frame (also called a floater frame). A floater frame is an L-shaped frame with a small gap between the frame and the canvas, giving it a 3-dimensional look that allows you to showcase the textures and edges of your artwork. Mahoneys Framing offers many options to frame your aboriginal art collection, from black, white to Tasmanian Oak, we have a great selection of floater frames to choose from.
• If you are worried about fading, you can also have it framed with a glass cover that has UV protection to prevent it from fading and discolouration. Mahoneys Framing offers conservation clear glass (or Museum glass) that filters out 99% of the harmful UV light rays to help protect aboriginal art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes from fading and deterioration while also giving you that crystal clear clarity because of its anti-glare coating. Other popular glass options like our 70% UV protection is also a good option to ensure protection against fading and discoloration of your artwork, and the traditional regular glass protects the artwork from dust, dirt, and fingerprints.

Stretching the canvas or linen over a wooden stretcher frame is the best and most common way to display Aboriginal paintings. Canvas stretching works well with Australian Aboriginal Art because of its professional finished look. If a piece of art is stretched too tightly or too loosely, then the image on the canvas will be distorted. At Mahoneys Framing, our canvas stretching services are backed by years of experience in canvas stretching. We have extensive experience with large-scale projects and only use the highest quality stretcher bars in all of our work.

Regardless of how you frame or stretch your aboriginal art, it is always important to use archival-quality materials. At Mahoneys Framing, we only use the best materials, expert craftsmanship and art gallery grade framing and stretching techniques to ensure your artwork will look beautiful for generations to come. Always remember that the finest frame is simply the one that highlights your artwork!
