Custom Framing
“Each frame I make by hand through a process I have been steadily improving upon over the last few years,” Gallagher told us about the final step in his process. “The more I have taken on producing my own materials, the more responsibility I feel toward the artwork as a whole.”
He added, “Honestly, I have framing in mind early in the process. I have methods of testing out different frames, painted, or stained, throughout a painting’s progress, as well. A piece always looks more complete when it’s framed and I only want my frames to be a compliment to the piece, not a distraction. My frames represent an additional element that continues to make the art that I produce unique. The block the painting is on is handmade by me. The frame is handmade by me. The painting is created by me. Each portion of completed piece allows me to bring creativity and uniqueness to the final product.”
