Framing in San Francisco: Stretching, Style, and Holiday Timing

At Underglass Framing in San Francisco, we love when a piece of art brings both energy and structure like this bold cubist-inspired painting filled with color, shape, and personality. With its vivid blues, greens, oranges, and reds outlined by strong black lines, it called for a frame that could balance playfulness with precision.

We stretched this canvas in-house and designed a custom black satin floater frame; a minimalist yet striking choice that echoes the artwork’s bold outlines. The open space between the edge of the canvas and the frame adds a subtle layer of drama, allowing the art to breathe while giving it that gallery-finished depth.

Every detail matters. From museum-quality materials and UV-filtering glass options to archival mounting and conservation methods, our framing is about more than presentation — it’s about protection, longevity, and connection to the art you live with every day.

And with the holidays around the corner, now’s the perfect time to bring in your art, photos, or prints for custom framing or canvas stretching. Whether you’re gifting a meaningful piece or refreshing your own walls, a well-chosen frame makes it personal, timeless, and ready to last.
