THE STEEL HANGING SYSTEM FOR PHOTOGRAPHS ON CANVAS

Eliot Siegel designed this steel hanging system for photographs on canvas. The metal-work is done in Devon by a local firm. The steel is purchased and laid outside for several days to rust. The steel is chopped and assembled, then varnished to a satin finish so that the rust stays safely and permanently under the coats. Photographs on canvas are luscious and when properly finished have a great sense
of depth in the darker tonalities. At any print size, they create a very strong presence in any room.

It works very simply: The canvas is printed with enough space top and bottom to be folded back onto itself, leaving a small pathway for a steel rod to slide through. The rod on the top of the canvas fits into the hangers on the large steel suspender, and the rod on the bottom of the canvas acts to give weight to the canvas and hold it straight.

 

THE RUSTY STEEL BOX FRAME

Made to order at Eliot's favourite Metal Worker's firm in Devon, this new framing design is a deep frame of steel, approximately 8 cm from the wall to the front. The steel is purchased and laid
outside for several days to rust. The steel is chopped and assembled, then varnished to a satin finish so that the rust stays safely and permanently under the coats.

The photograph is printed using the very strong Alu-Dibond process, which eliminates the need for glass. An Alu-Dibond print is 2 pieces of Aluminium with a black substrate in the middle, giving the photograph great rigidity and is amazingly lightweight.

An Acrylic Sandwich type photograph also works very well with the Rusty Box Frame.

The photograph shown is called Plate 52A and can also be seen in the Sex, Lies and the Single Mannequin collection on the Home page.

 

THE ACRYLIC SANDWICH

The photograph is printed on the very back of a polished, thick Acrylic sheet. This presentation gives a wonderful sense of crystal-like depth to a photograph, and appears to intensify colours, as seen here on plate 132 from the Sex, Lies and the Single Mannequin Collection.

Available in sizes large and small, all made to order and all part of a limited edition of only 100 prints.

 

THE CLASSIC DEEP BLACK WOOD PICTURE FRAME

All photographs seem to look great in a simply designed but elegantly crafted black wood picture frame.  Available in any size, to order, and always part of a limited edition of only 100.

Also available with single or double stepped acid-free window mounts / matts. This photograph is called SHIRLEY OF HOLLYWOOD and is available to order. You can find the photograph in the 'Windows' collection on the Home page.
