Ringwood North · Framing since 2005

The wall is the last thing anyone builds.

Most people choose the artwork first and think about the frame at the end. We would rather start there, because the frame is what decides whether the piece survives the next fifty years on that wall.

Alongside independent galleries around the country, and the curators and fine art conservators who work with them.

The wall

A gallery hang, not a grid of thumbnails

Every piece below sits at its true proportions on a Hangtrack rail, the same rail we install in homes and galleries. Nothing is cropped to fit a box. A framer who crops the work is not a framer.

Finishes

Six finishes, all cut and finished here

These are the standard six. Beyond them we hand finish to match anything you bring in, including gold leaf, custom stains and custom paints, so the moulding meets the room rather than the other way round.

Satin Black

Our most requested finish. Recedes completely, which is what you want behind photography and works on paper.

What we frame

Two very different jobs, one workshop

For the art world

Artists, galleries, museums and collectors

Conservation and museum quality framing using archival matboards, backings, tapes and hangings throughout. Hand finished timber mouldings matched exactly to a nominated finish, including gold leaf. Display plinths, exhibition installation, and a team of art installers available Australia wide.

  • Conservation and archival framing
  • Hand finished and gold leaf mouldings
  • Canvas stretching
  • Display plinths and exhibition installation
  • Indigenous art, handled with care

For what you cannot replace

Jerseys, medals, heirlooms and found objects

The same conservation materials, applied to the things that carry a story rather than a valuation. Jerseys pinned without a single new hole. Medals mounted so the ribbon holds its shape. Deep box frames built to size, because nothing you own is a standard size off a shelf.

  • Signed jerseys and guernseys
  • Service medals and ordinance items
  • Framed and custom mirrors
  • Wedding flowers, coins, pottery and found objects
  • Pick up and delivery anywhere in Victoria

Hangtrack rail systems

Hang it once. Move it whenever you like.

A slim aluminium clip rail that fits tight spaces, with stainless steel wire drops and hangers rated to 15kg each, or nylon drops rated to 10kg. Rehang a whole wall in an afternoon without putting another hole in it. If a rail is not right for the room, we have installers who will wall mount instead, anywhere in Australia.

$55.25per 2 metres of rail
$42.50per pair of hooks
$42.50per pair of drop wires

Prices as listed on the Studio9Art store. Installation quoted on the room.

Represented artists

The gallery side of the workshop

Studio9Art also represents a small roster of contemporary Australian artists, whose work is framed here and sold through the studio.
