Attention to detail is paramount for the curation and exhibition of art. Every element, no matter how small, contributes to the impact of the artwork. Custom framing is an excellent art form for your selected pieces that greatly enhances the visual impact, protects the integrity, and elevates the essence of what’s within. Consider these benefits of custom framing for curation and exhibition as an indispensable part of the art’s essence.

1. Enhanced Aesthetics

From the choice of material, such as wood or metal, to the style and finish of the molding, custom framing brings a curated touch that perfectly suits the artwork. Custom mats, in particular, add depth and focus, directing the viewer’s eye to the piece.

A bespoke frame also has the power to complement the artwork’s style. Modern, minimalistic pieces may benefit from a sleek, narrow frame, while ornate, gilded edges can enhance elegant works.

2. Protection and Preservation

Fine art is an investment, not just a visual delight; like most investments, it requires protection. Custom frames act as a barrier against the wear and tear of everyday life—UV rays, dust, air pollutants, and physical damage.

Specialized mounting and glazing techniques secure the artwork within the frame, defending against the passage of time. Complete Pictures uses various glass options to ensure your curated pieces have the protection they need to preserve their artistic excellence for you and others to appreciate.

3. Tailored Solutions

Each piece of art is as unique as a fingerprint, and taking a one-size-fits-all approach to framing feels out of place. Custom framing benefits curated and exhibition pieces with tailored solutions that respect and heighten the unique characteristics of each work. Our custom framing accommodates challenging elements, whether it’s an unusually sized canvas, a textured surface, or a non-standard material,.

By working closely with our professional framers, artists, collectors, and curators, we’ll help you select the frame, mat, and glazing that best suits your piece. The result is a harmonious blend that supports the artwork’s color palette, narrative, and display setting, ensuring every aspect complements the other.

4. Professional Presentation

In art galleries and exhibitions, first impressions may become lasting judgments. An artwork’s value is in its composition and how you present it. Custom artwork framing lends an air of sophistication to any display, communicating a level of care and investment that indicates the worth attributed to the piece.



The right frame anchors an artwork within a space and contributes to a curated environment that guides the viewer’s emotional and intellectual engagement. Professional presentations tell a story, and custom frames are indispensable storytellers.
