Damien Hirst - paint by numbers.., by stopki on May 4, 2012 14:50:20 GMT 1, something interesting..
The John Jones team were pleased to work with Eyestorm UK to design an innovative framing solution for a three-dimensional piece by Damien Hirst. The artistโs current retrospective exhibition at TATE Modern has sparked new debate around his themes and creative approach, and we are delighted to have framed worked by this ground-breaking and controversial figure in contemporary art.
The piece is composed of three separate parts: a large-scale cardboard box, a tray containing small paint pots and a canvas. In order to display these three objects within the same frame, we created a system of unique trays and clips which will support the piece safely and securely for years to come. These mechanisms were either sprayed white to match the frame backing, or produced in transparent acrylic to ensure that none of the protective framing elements affected the visual impact of this dramatic work. The entire piece is covered in an acrylic casing which will conserve the artwork from harmful ultra violet light rays, dust particles and airborne pollutants, whilst allowing it to be viewed and enjoyed from diverse angles.
The finished design will go on display at the inaugural Grand Art Fair of Grand Designs Live 05/05/12 โ 13/05/12, and the making of the frame will also be featured in the upcoming first edition of Eyestorm Magazine.

Damien Hirst - paint by numbers.., by poppa on May 4, 2012 20:01:39 GMT 1, There was one of these for sale in a gallery in padstow last year, wasn't too pricey either, but quite big! How much is this?
