Original "Go N-2" Character Portrait created by Arvydas Gaiciunas (Retne). The painting is 100% hand-painted using Highly pigmented artists’ Acrylic, UV varnish on Unframed cotton canvas (360 g/m²) (without a stretcher frame). After stretching on the wood frame SIZE: (H)84x(W)67 and a maximum depth of 2 to 3.5 cm. Total dimensions: (H)94x(W)77 cm. After stretching the canvas on a stretcher bar the sides will be in relevant colors, so there is no need for an additional frame. To have the painting stretched is a relatively inexpensive process from your local framer. Please note: the painting doesn't come framed, but I've taken a photo of it framed for display purposes. *** Important Note: Please do not order a stretcher frame in advance. Due to slight variations in canvas dimensions, it is recommended to wait until the painting arrives and have your framer measure the canvas before creating the frame. This ensures a perfect fit. *** Important Information about Canvas Edges and Composition: Each of my paintings is created by cutting the canvas to the desired size from a roll and stapling it to the wall. I always consider that 5 centimeters on each side of the canvas will be wrapped around the stretcher frame. This is a deliberate part of the composition, ensuring that the sides of the canvas continue the artwork itself, rather than leaving them white or painting them black. Please be aware that certain elements of the painting, such as parts of figures or other details, may be wrapped around the frame. This is intentional and does not detract from the artwork. To minimize the image loss on the wrapped edges, you can opt for a slightly larger stretcher frame with reduced thickness, or consult with a professional framer for the best results. If you prefer to retain the entire image, framing the painting with a mat under glass is a great option. Again, consulting with a professional framer is recommended. Thank you for your understanding and support. *** SHIPPING with DPD, GLS, UPS, PostNL, or FedEx. The painting will be shipped rolled up to make shipping more affordable.
