In framing, a spacer’s primary function is to separate the artwork from the glazing of its frame in order to avoid buckling of the art and mold, among other things.  For a recent custom framing project, Paris Frameworks created custom painted spacers to match the fiery red colors of an aboriginal inspired painting on canvas (see close-up photo).  Deep 1” custom spacers were used to create a dramatic, shadowbox-like effect and allow the spacers to stand out against the artwork.  Using custom painted spacers is another creative approach to enhancing your artwork here at Paris Frameworks.
