Sometimes the contrast between the artwork and the frame is exactly what makes the whole piece work.This original artwork by Heidi Lustig is delicate and contemporary, with fine detail, soft tones and flashes of bright colour. Rather than keeping the framing equally understated, we went in the opposite direction — an ornate black frame with layers of decorative detail creates a strong, dramatic boundary around the work.The generous white mat gives the artwork breathing room between the image and the heavier frame, allowing both elements to have their own presence.A great example of how custom framing doesn’t always have to quietly disappear. Sometimes the frame gets to be part of the personality too.Custom framed by Sunset Framing & Gallery, Port Macquarie.
