Framed Paintings


I noticed this simple idea at my dad's house. He has quite a collection of smaller thrift store paintings up around the house. Recently he put some of them in simple Ikea Ribba frames, floating without a matte.

I think it gives them a lot more presence without any of the fuss of 'framing' your artwork.

    Love your dad's idea, finding the right matte can be tricky anyway, happy to omit it :)
