The Art Land design team was delighted to work with local Harcourts Toowong owner, Jon Iceton to frame a very special piece. Jon asked the team to frame a 6 foot 3" surfboard which had been signed by Kelly Slater - 9 X World Champion.
The brief was to create a way for Jon to display the sufboard in his office that would look great and also protect the surboard from any potential damage or deterioration.

How we frame complex 3-dimensional pieces
Glen Andrews, Head Picture Framer at Art Land Indooroopilly, personally took charge of the project and created a design that incorporated the colours of the board as well as creating a modern, timeless effect.
Glen built a special sub frame to hold the board and cater for its depth and curve.
Due to the size of the piece it was necessary to use specially crafted oversized materials.
The Art Land state-of-the-art computerised mat cutter was then deployed to cut the acid-free matboards to the exact size and shape and then Glen and the team joined them by hand to create a seamless, clean finish.
The Art Land team carefully assembled the whole framing, using high quality acrylic rather than glass, to minimise weight.
Special reinforcing was used to hang the finished surfboard. The completed art work is currently hanging in our Indooroopilly showroom where it will be on display for the next couple of weeks - courtesy of Jon Iceton and River City Harcourts Toowong.
The Art Land team specialises in framing complex and unusal pieces.
