When it comes to iconic contemporary art, Takashi Murakami’s vibrant, bold, and often circular creations stand in a league of their own. Known for his signature flowers and whimsical yet deeply philosophical characters, Murakami’s art merges traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary pop culture in a way that’s both joyful and thought-provoking. His round art prints, especially those featuring his trademark smiling flowers, aren’t just visually captivating—they’re cultural artifacts. And such distinctive works deserve a presentation that matches their significance.
At Frames and Stretchers, we understand that Murakami round art pieces are more than just prints—they are collectible, high-value statements of style, culture, and artistic legacy. That’s why we specialize in custom circular frames for Murakami art, designed not only to preserve your artwork but also to elevate it to its fullest potential.
Why Murakami's Art Deserves a Custom Round Frame
Murakami's use of the circular format is no accident. Unlike traditional rectangular prints, his round compositions create a continuous flow of motion—offering the viewer a sense of harmony, energy, and completeness. It’s a shape that carries spiritual and aesthetic meaning in both Eastern and Western traditions.
The circle becomes more than a shape—it becomes a visual philosophy. Framing it within a standard square or rectangular format simply does not do it justice. That’s why a custom round frame for a Murakami print is essential—it complements the artist’s original vision while making a bold visual statement in your space.
Our round frames are not just functional—they’re crafted to highlight the whimsy, color, and cultural fusion embedded in Murakami’s prints. Whether you’re framing a vivid flower burst, a skull motif, or a collaborative print with Louis Vuitton or ComplexCon, the frame should echo the joy and intricacy of the artwork itself.
Introducing Our Aluminum and Plexi Box Circular Frames
At Frames and Stretchers, we’re proud to offer two exclusive circular framing options for Murakami prints—aluminum round frames and our premium plexi box frames. These are two of our most sought-after materials among Murakami collectors and contemporary art enthusiasts alike, each offering its own aesthetic and protective benefits. Whether you’re looking for a sleek, metallic edge or a museum-style floating presentation, we’ve got you covered.
Why Choose Aluminum?
These frames are ideal for collectors who want a seamless blend of art and design—something that looks as good in a museum as it does in a modern home or high-end commercial space.
Why Choose a Plexi Box Frame?
Our custom plexi box frames are another standout option, especially for those who want a dramatic, clean, and contemporary look. These frames are constructed with crystal-clear acrylic, offering a “floating” effect that surrounds your artwork with depth and elegance.
Plexi box frames are especially popular for Murakami pieces printed on unique substrates or with three-dimensional texture. They’re also a favorite among interior designers looking to create a bold, contemporary gallery wall. The acrylic can come in a variety of different colors and finishes.
Customization Is Key
What sets our service apart is our attention to detail and dedication to fully customizable framing solutions. Every circular frame we create is custom-built to your artwork’s exact dimensions, ensuring a snug, museum-quality fit.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Murakami’s work is too unique for that.
Whether you’re framing a 28-inch flower print or a large-scale installation piece, we work with you to determine the best materials, finishes, and mounting style for your artwork.
Our customization options include:
