Using Front-Load Frames for Versatility and to Enhance Presentation

Enhancing Acrylic Artwork Through Versatile Front-Load Framing

The Framed Acrylic Animals Collection includes Red Bull and Perch of Promise, two acrylic paintings that examine the balance between expressive artwork and practical presentation. Each piece is shown as a finished, display-ready work while also illustrating a flexible framing approach suited for modern interiors. The emphasis remains on color, surface texture, and movement, with the frame acting as a clean structural element that supports the artwork without competing with it.

The Process
Both paintings are displayed in front-loading frames designed for flexibility and ease. The frames may be used with the glass or plexiglass they come with, or left completely open to reveal the surface texture of the artwork. Perch of Promise was created on an acrylic canvas board that fits neatly into a smaller frame that originally came with glass, leaving the painted surface exposed and allowing every brushstroke to catch the light. Red Bull is also framed in this style, showing how easily artwork can be changed or reloaded. The lightweight design makes hanging simple, even without D-rings, and the versatility of the frame offers options for protection or open display. Whether presented with glass, plexiglass, or left open-face, the texture and depth of the acrylic surface remain a defining feature.

Inspiration & Meaning
This framing method celebrates both creativity and simplicity. It provides a clean, professional finish while keeping the focus on the art itself. In Red Bull, the dynamic energy of movement and color contrasts with the minimal frame, while Perch of Promise benefits from the open presentation that enhances its layered surface. Together, the two pieces demonstrate how framing can complement the character of the work—offering an affordable, adaptable way to display art that feels contemporary, tactile, and alive.
