Cohesive framing?
Hello!
There is a small possibility that I could have some of my work exhibited in the near future, so I am looking into framing them all. So far, I have a couple of things framed with simple black "gallery" style frames in wood or metal.
Should I have everything framed in a similar style if they might be shown together? Or is it OK to have a mix?
Some of my works are on regular canvas, some are on the deep 1 1/2" stretchers, at least one is on a wood panel, and some are pastels on paper. The only way I can think to make them all similar is to all have simple black frames, with either floater frames on the deep stretchers or leave the sides painted black. Well, that or spend a fortune on really deep frames for everything!
But is this acceptable? I want to show all of my work in the best light, and I know a couple would look really nice in a particular frame, but I don't want them to look a mess as a group.
Opinions, suggestions appreciated!
