Hikaru 200cm x 120cm "Brave and Beautiful" Abstract Realism Framed Textured Painting (SOLD)
Floating Frame Edge (Optional)
Whilst my canvases come with a beautiful gallery finish edge that matches the face...your decor might suit the addition of an external floating frame in either Black, White or Natural Tassie Oak.
This series is the first where I am including beautiful Tasmanian Oak Floater frames as part of the sale. Kindly let me know if you prefer Black, Natural or White after checkout.
The “Brave and Beautiful” series is a new spin on “Abstract Realism" capturing the true essence of spirit. This series features varied subject matter including Geishas, Warriors, Indigenous persons, pop icons such as Marilyn and many more to come.
These pieces are always created by hand and brush with acrylics (no prints, spray or screen-printing). They feature textured bases and hand created stippling over texture. There is no mistaking this for being an original painting, rather than a FLAT FLUID piece or print. This painting will NEVER EVER be sold as a print. The full gamut of acrylics, oils and inks intermesh with a lovely varnish coat that plays with light that falls over it and the texture. This painting has LIFE.
They are created on a 40mm frame wrapped in the highest quality canvas, with a triple varnish coat and gallery finished edges painted and finished as such. A “canvas” really has 5 faces. If this piece caught your eye but it’s not quite the right size or colours, or you would like something more personal, do reach out and let’s discuss possibilities.
Mumma Bear and spunky wife Wendy is CFO and big cheese. To add to the family vibe, since the world was rocked by covid, both of my offspring (Franksy and Franketta as I call them) have become fulltime understudies, having “helped out Dad” during their school years. Under my watchful eye, they are both now collaborating with me at the highest level.
Most paintings arrive ready to install with hardware installed on the rear. It is recommended that the really really big ones, some of the heavier pieces and some of the specialist pieces, such as pallets, be installed by a professional hanger. This is cheaper than you may think and would be in the $150 to $250 range. We have partners in most areas that can be recommended if you need help. If you would like more information, just ask away.
Provided with listings are some insitu images. We strive to ensure they are accurate in scale. Sometimes we will add an external frame to the painting insitu, to provide a vibe for how that would look also. As mentioned above, my pieces arrive ready to install with gallery finished edges and honestly, most people don’t add external framing. However, it is of course an option. If you have any questions, please let me know. We are here to help and want to make it as easy as possible for you if your décor aspirations require it.
Global shipping is included in the listed prices however, if you happened to be in an extremely remote area or country, we may put our hand up and ask for a little bit of monetary assistance. We package the paintings securely in twin walled, reinforced, CUSTOM MADE “Franko” cartons, with additional protective inserts & of course the painting is wrapped in bubble wrap and often felt, for rub protection.
