A client recently commissioned a custom copper frame for her fine art print, “Masquerade De Valentin”, by Gina Jrel. Jrel’s work is very unique, and the frame needed to reflect that.
The frame echoes the painting’s movement, whimsy, and contemporary style through the ribbons of copper and verdigris medallions.
The delicate, open structure of the frame allows the vibrant colors, a trademark of Jrel’s artwork, to stand out.
Creating a piece that would uniquely join Mike’s style of copper work, and the contemporary finish of the artwork produced a challenge Mike appreciates in his work.
What do you think of the contemporary style of this copper frame? Do you have pieces of art in your collection that you may not have considered using copper as the medium for framing? I hope this story lets you see some of the possibilities for adding copper accents to your artwork.



Thanks again Mike for creating such beautiful pieces for my home!
