"On The Day I Was Born" Artwork by Matthew McCormick
Best Custom Gallery White Floater Frame in NYC by Frames and Stretchers
At our Frames and Stretchers studios in New York City, New Haven CT and Wynwood Miami, we love partnering with artists, galleries and collectors to create beautiful one-of-a-kind custom framing and canvas stretching projects and the best custom white gallery floater frames in NYC.
It was very exciting for us to receive original artwork by the American visual artist Matthew McCormick. Themes in McCormick’s work portray reimagined landscapes of Americana—often incorporating western iconography reminiscent of Hollywood, cowboys, and redrawn advertisements and cartoons. The quality of line, and seemingly ambiguous threshold between digitization and reinterpretation of archived materials sets a specific backdrop to absorb into, such as with the techincolor sunsets that pierce through the backgrounds of McCormick’s drawings, paintings and prints.
Subtly, McCormick uses digital design and screenprinting techniques to accentuate the natural aging processes on paper, though he will manipulate the illusion of time’s effect on a print by playing up pastels and evening tones as though the piece has its own shadow and dimensionality. These melancholic works by McCormick touch upon childhood, movies and myth-making of the American Wild West; all important components that tie into the larger scope of the artwork's reflection on gender identity, media culture and sexuality. It was an honor to create the best custom gallery white floater frame in New York for Matthrew McCormick's stunning artwork.

With every artwork we frame or stretch, conservation of artwork is our highest priority. For creating an archival and elegant frame for McCormick's works we chose the best gallery white custom floater frame in NYC, to showcase the beautiful tinted edges of the artwork on paper, and fully display the maximum surface area of the print.
"On the day I was born" by Matthew McCormick is glazed with Optium Museum Acrylic for the best UV protection, that will prevent the artwork's rich colours and paper quality from fading over time. We also created a custom acid free backing in rising white and custom wood spacers for mounting and fitting this one-of-a-kind frame for McCormick's artwork.
