Exhibition Preparation in Malaga - Visiting the frame shop / by PIGSY

Art Exhibition Preparation - Group Show

I’m currently working towards a Group Show that will be held here in Malaga at La Casa Amarilla. There is two parts to it. One is the actual real-life physical exhibition (remember those!) and the now familiar virtual exhibition to go alongside. Each artist has to submit 4 pieces, some which will be in the physical exhibition and others in the virtual exhibition.

In order to prepare for this showing, I selected the 4 paintings to be exhibited which I then had professionally photographed.

Framing PIGSY Art

The next step is to have the paintings framed. So I visited the frame shop today to discuss my framing requirements. I’ve written about how I like my work to be framed in a past blog andI was interested to see if I could replicate the same aesthetic here in Malaga as I specified at home in Ireland.

And so I set off for a walk through the streets of Malaga with a piece of art. Everything is so convenient here in Malaga city with just about every business that you could need available in the city and the director of La Casa Amarilla had given me the details of the framer which was only a few streets away from my studio.

After having a great chat with the framer we decided upon a style for the frame after having a good browse of his full selection - not quite my usual look but very close! I also got a quote for the work which I was agreeable to. It will take about a week for the framing work to be done and then they will be all ready for the exhibition in December. It’s my first exhibition here in Spain so I’m looking forward to it!

Here’s the details of the Frame Shop:
