Newsletter 7 Displaying your artwork
Jan 16, 2023How do I hang my artwork to look professional?
Nothing is more disheartening than seeing your artwork displayed appallingly. I have been involved with curating artworks and will share with you a few pointers to make your work look professional.
- Try to keep your frames similar.
- Use a D ring and wire. This is mandatory
if exhibiting in galleries or major exhibitions
String can break so I avoid using it, invest in picture framing wire
Arranging the artwork
- I am fortunate to have a hanging system in my studio which has been a great investment
- Place the work on the floor and shuffle them around before hanging them
- Group your work into colours and themes I like to keep interiors together, portraits, still life, or landscapes together but that need not be applicable
- Have the dominant and larger paintings on
the bottom, smaller quieter paintings above - Have the person or object looking inwards from the corner, this takes your eye into the group of paintings
- If displaying large works on a wall you can either have a visual line through the center or a line above the works to keep them uniform
- I do experiment with my format to
create interesting displays
