Glossary Of Picture Framing Terms
[1] |
Gallery wrap Gallery wrapping is the method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides of a wooden frame (called stretcher bars or strainer bars), and securing it to the back.The result is that the hardware (staples or tacks) used for securing the canvas is not visible from the front or sides.
The sides of the canvas are prepared and primed in the same manner as the face. They may be painted a solid color, or painted to continue the image appearing on the face. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
In canvas printing, the term “gallery wrap†refers to an image that appears on the sides of the frame as well as the front. The image on the sides is either a continuation or a reflection of the main image.
