Aura's Framing Process — Float Frames, Museum Acrylic Explained
At Aura Studio, we believe that the presentation of art is as vital as the art itself. The way a piece is framed can enhance its mood and depth, allowing the viewer to engage with the artwork on a more profound level. In this post, we will explore our unique framing process, focusing on float frames and museum acrylic, and how they complement our radial-aura gradient editions.
Understanding Float Frames
Float frames are an elegant choice for showcasing contemporary art, providing a sense of space and light around the artwork. Unlike traditional framing methods, where the artwork sits flush against the frame, float frames create the illusion that the piece is suspended within the frame. This technique allows the viewer to appreciate the full depth of the work, allowing the gradient transitions to bloom organically.
Take, for instance, our Solstice edition. The soft gradients of gold and deep blues evoke a celestial atmosphere, and when set within a float frame, the artwork appears to float elegantly against the wall. This framing method enhances the ethereal qualities of the piece, drawing the viewer’s eye and inviting contemplation.
Float frames are available in a range of materials and finishes, allowing you to select a style that resonates with your personal aesthetic. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a more rustic feel, float frames can be tailored to complement your space while keeping the focus on the artwork itself.
The Role of Museum Acrylic
When it comes to protecting and showcasing your art, museum acrylic is the gold standard. Unlike traditional glass, museum acrylic offers superior clarity and light transmission, ensuring that the vibrancy of the colours and the subtleties of the gradients are preserved. Additionally, museum acrylic is less prone to shattering and is lighter than glass, making it an ideal choice for larger pieces.
Our Threshold edition, with its intricate layers of soft pastels and deep shadows, illustrates the importance of high-quality materials. When framed with museum acrylic, the artwork's rich textures and gradients are enhanced, allowing for an immersive viewing experience. The acrylic’s UV protection also helps prevent fading, ensuring that your art remains a cherished focal point in your home for years to come.
Furthermore, museum acrylic can be treated to reduce glare, ensuring that your artwork can be appreciated from various angles, no matter the lighting conditions. This feature is particularly important for pieces like Aurora Drift, where the play of light is essential to experiencing the full depth and movement of the gradients. In a gallery setting or a quiet corner of your home, museum acrylic allows the artwork to take centre stage, free from distractions.
Framing Process at Aura Studio
At Aura Studio, we take a considered approach to framing our art. Each piece is carefully assessed to determine the most suitable framing method, ensuring that the presentation enhances the core essence of the artwork. Our process begins with selecting the right frame style, whether it be a float frame or more traditional options, based on the specific characteristics of the edition.
Once the frame is selected, we meticulously prepare the artwork for mounting. This involves ensuring that each piece is properly cleaned and positioned to achieve the desired float effect. We pay particular attention to the alignment and spacing, as these details can significantly impact the overall presentation. Our goal is to create a harmonious balance between the artwork and the frame, allowing for an engaging interaction.
For our Tidewell edition, which features a serene palette of blues and greens, the framing process includes selecting a frame that enhances the tranquil mood of the piece. The interplay of the float frame and museum acrylic allows the artwork to resonate with its intended emotion, creating a calming atmosphere in any space.
Every artwork that leaves Aura Studio is a result of thoughtful curation and expert craftsmanship. We are committed to ensuring that each piece is presented in a way that truly reflects its essence, allowing the viewer to experience the full depth and beauty of the art.
