It has been a while for me to get any customized picture frame. I am looking for a good quality custome picture frames for some of the stuff that I didn't know I have until I cleared my store room recently! These are posters and handmade small rug that are odd sizes that I may not be able to fit a standard frame size.

Do you have a feeling that you can actually reproduce those drawings yourself?
A stroke here and a stroke there, and there you go?

I always have such feeling whenever I saw paintings for sale.
But it has been 4 years now, nothing ever materialize blush.gif

Well, if you give a book to a cow, he will not be able to read. It is easy to trivialize modern art to "a stroke here and a stroke there" but You need to have a good understanding of art to interpret/understand the intent and meaning of a painting. Jackson Pollock's painting is just paint drip that most can do as well ...

It is obvious that I am not the art connoisseur that you are, and thus may have made a remark that irked you.
So I'll humbly bow out from this off-topic topic.

If you really appreciate art then you will know that a decent quality blank canvas at 3' x 3' already cost rm200-300. Not to mentioned the paint and the artist time to do the art. blush.gif since you mentioned Pollock, then I assume you know something about art. Then you must also know that nice art takes time and passion to do thus will cost more than what you are willing to spend. What the ppl have revered you to are mass produced, heartless, soulless pieces of works. rclxub.gif

Drop by Art Village (in Kelana Square I think) they have a good range of affordable art at the size that you are thinking of. There are cheap ones and some good ones too by not famous artist, but artist nonetheless... icon_rolleyes.gif

Can you please read my posts carefully before making comments that do not make sense??? I was asking for some good picture frames. Someone else was asking about oil painting for RM200-300 and NOT me. I was just responding to the off topic comment about modern art. Yes, I have seen more than enough real paintings to know that good painting will likely worth more than RM200.

Sorry my bad, getting old. Eyes not good. oops.gif doh.gif

When you said you looking for a good one, miss read as good painting... blink.gif

If you want good framing go ask artist where they frame their works. Quite hard to frame non-flat objects like rugs. Very few framers know how to frame it nicely. Think there used to be one in Sri Hartamas the shop lots near the petronas.

OK. Thanks for the feedback on rugs framing. As for cost of a painting, even my poster of Guernica already more than RM300! smile.gif

Bangkok (TH) art typically more religious theme. I actually like the work of some Vietnamese Impressionist artists. They are not cheap due to those foreign buyers pushing up the price. I nearly got one back but the price was hefty (almost RM10k) and the size was a problem too. I will definitely try to go there one day and get one one day.
