This absolutely stunning art print was requested to fit into this family heirloom frame by my client. The proportions were just off, so a very thin black matboard border gave the artwork the extra space while adding impact to the overall image. This frame is hand cut, and the uniqueness of the design matches with Jacob's signature unquie art style. 🌟

Beautiful Coupe technical drawing on transparent paper, framed with care and precision, just how I imagine the Coupe car was designed.
Lovely result.

We are back open for Framing, although hours vary due to mural work outside of the gallery! So please check Google or FB before heading in!
This is a stunning Mode2 piece for a repeat client. The float mount is a great choice for fine art prints on paper where you get to preserve and celebrate the deckled edges.
White frame + matching foam board makes the colour POP!

Stunning Samoan tapa cloth float mounted in a deep shadow float style box frame, giving this artwork the space needed to feel like a museum artifact. The frame match is 👏

Super fun framing job today. These original Japanese Menko mask and toys were very delicate and needed custom shaped shadow float mounts, with one having a double float so the circular elements popped out of the backing.
Custom painted frames really helped these come to life and UV70 glass makes the conservation and result supreme.

Another wonderful Hundertwasser artwork framed for the most enthusiastic collector. This artwork shines in multiple layers of screenprinting, including metallic layers. Together with the client, we decided the black matboard makes the colour pop the most!
Amazing work, framed with passion & care.

This incredible Tiger print is so bad ass! Framed with an even border around the print and black matboard with UV70 glass - the almost invisible magic glass. 👌🐅🐯

We love framing old posters, and this is one of several we've done for the legendary team, NZs longest running student/alternative radio station.
The history of our local arts & music culture is something to celebrate! This poster showed many battle scars, which we easily smoothed out and have now protected in a matte black frame with spacers and standard glass.

A stunning re-frame of an old old painting (artist unkown). We framed this in a matte white low profile frame then did a surround tray frame with a 10mm negative edge around. It is a great result with a modern twist on this gorgeous, moody artwork.

We're back on the socials! Had a break, but the framing didn't stop!
This is an incredible ode to a popular pop culture meme. If you know RHWBHs, you know!
Framed in a thin black frame to compliment the thin outter border of the artwork, and sitting snug in a double window matboard. 👏👏👏
Favourite artwork of 2024 so far!

Fiksate Framing turned this Colin McCahon poster into a lovely personalized gift for a client.
We cut to size an MDF board and finished the edges and back with black paint. Then adhered the image smoothly to the front. A perfect Fit
It really was quite fun and definitely a style of mounting we want to try more of!
