Framing & Finishing

Empty Studios

Art that arrives ready.

All framed works are produced by our fulfilment partner, Left Bank Art Group, in their Gold Coast workshop.

Every frame is built to order using solid timber and acid-free materials - a consistent finish your clients can specify with confidence.

Every frame built to order. Solid Australian timber. Acid-free materials throughout. No shortcuts.

PAPER & PRINT

Paper Framing.

Framing is done in a 2cm wide, 4cm deep box frame across a curated range of finishes. All mat boards and backing boards are acid-free. No MDF or composite materials used at any point.

All framed prints in our online range ship with a traditional frame as standard. Additional styles are available for project and custom orders.

Traditional Frame (Standard)

A mat board surrounds the artwork on all sides for a clean, gallery-appropriate finish. Available in cool white or warm white - our default for all framed prints ordered through the store.

Classic Box Frame

Glazing sits flush against the artwork - no mat board, no spacers. The artwork fills the frame edge to edge.

Shadow Box Frame

The artwork sits at the back of the frame with the glazing held at the front, producing a clean recess and a defined shadow line. A modern, minimal result that suits most interior contexts.

Floated Paper Box Frame

Designed for works with a raw or deckled edge. The artwork sits on a 3–5mm backing board, raised off the base with spacers to create visible depth between the piece and the frame edge.

STRETCHED TO LAST

Canvas Framing.

Canvas works are stretched and float-framed to order, with cross-bracing on any work over 100cm for added stability.

Frames are 10mm wide on the face and 55mm deep, with a 5mm shadow gap between the canvas and frame on all sides.

Available in a range of Tasmanian Oak and matte finishes, sourced from FSC-certified local suppliers.
