Float mounting is an alternative to shadow float mounting. This archival method involves securing the corners of the artwork using acid-free tape. While it doesn’t have a shadow effect, it is another excellent choice for pieces with deckled edges.
UV glass provides protection against damage and fading by UV rays.
Our Hand Crafted Custom Framing Service
A bespoke, custom-made frame is the perfect way to complement your beautiful limited edition artwork. Our framing experts will cut, join and assemble each frame by hand to create your perfect finished work of art, ready to hang on your wall.
Your framed artwork is then delivered to your door. To ensure your frame arrives in pristine condition, all of our custom frames are delivered either by our own driver or with an external specialist courier service. Both are highly experienced at delivering custom frames safely and securely.
Our framed art delivered within the UK will contain glass. If you live outside the UK your frame will contain gallery-grade cast acrylic instead of glass, durable and super clear.

I want to arrange framing myself, how accurate are your sizes?
Although we try to make the picture sizes on our website as accurate as possible, we always advise waiting until you receive your print before arranging your own framing. Please do not give the sizes on our website to your framer, instead arrange for them to measure the print when it arrives.
More Details of Your Framing Choices
(Call us to quote on any of the framing extras below)
Frame Style
Connecting a picture with its surroundings, your choice of frame style is important; it needs to enhance the image without detracting from it. Our experts are here to help, whether you opt for a white or black painted wooden frame or a traditional, decorative moulded design. Every work of art calls for something different, so we offer a number of frame styles, to suit your artwork and your home.
Box framing
All the framing options at our website are box frames, offering a protective distance between the glass and the surface of an artwork. Box framing is the ideal choice for limited edition prints or original artworks, eliminating the risk of any ink transfer between the artwork and the glazed pane.
Glazing
When it comes to the protective pane between your artwork and the environment it’s hanging in, your options are glass or acrylic. At The Brighton Box Gallery we use glass in our bespoke frames.:
UV glass provides protection against damage and fading by blocking harmful UV light waves, although it can have some impact on clarity, it therefore will depend on where your art is situated.
Picture Mounts for Framing
Do you want your artwork flush to the edge of the frame? Or do you want a little space for the image to breathe? We are happy to advise and offer a choice of mounts, including acid-free backing, surround mounts and (our personal favourite) float mounting. Not sure what we’re talking about? Read on…
Acid-free backing is commonly used to perfectly mount prints (that is, match them up to the edges of the frame with no border). An acid-free board is placed between the reverse side of the print and the backing board of the frame to avoid any chemical transfer. Fully reversible, as nothing is stuck down, this process is commonly used and suitable for all types or artwork, whether limited editions, originals or rare pieces of work.
Float mounting is ideal if you like a little more space around your art or to show the deckled edge of the paper (if your print features this). Our framing experts can float mount your piece onto conservation grade mount board.
Surround mounts are best described as windows through which you view an artwork. The window is cut into a piece of high-quality card, which is available in a variety of colours, and laid flat on the surface of the print or original. This type of mount can act as additional decoration or, in some cases, offers a way to showcase more than one piece of art within a single frame.

Metin Salih
Sin City Lips is a bold and seductive contemporary artwork that captures desire, indulgence, and temptation in a single striking image. In this piece, Metin Salih presents a large-scale close-up of glossy golden lips, suspended against a raw, textured background. The composition immediately commands attention. The lips glow in rich tones of gold, amber, and burnt bronze, while deep shadows within the mouth create dramatic contrast and intensity.
Salih applies the paint with expressive energy. Thick brushstrokes sculpt the upper and lower lip, giving them volume and movement. Moreover, liquid drips cascade downward from the lips, blending gold and bronze pigments into the distressed backdrop. These dripping elements feel intentional and unapologetic. As a result, the artwork carries both glamour and grit, echoing the duality suggested by the title.
The background itself enhances the atmosphere. Rough textures, exposed underlayers, and splattered paint create an urban aesthetic. Consequently, the polished lips appear almost rebellious against the imperfect surface. The contrast between refinement and rawness reflects themes of luxury, temptation, and excess often associated with the phrase “Sin City.”
Colour plays a central role in the emotional impact of the piece. Gold dominates the palette, symbolising wealth, power, and attraction. At the same time, the darker tones within the mouth introduce mystery and depth. Light catches the contours of the lips, making them appear almost molten, as if desire itself has been liquefied and allowed to drip freely.
Ultimately, Sin City Lips explores the tension between beauty and indulgence. Through dramatic scale, textured layering, and bold colour, Metin Salih transforms a simple motif into a statement about allure, confidence, and the seductive pull of modern culture.
This piece comes framed.
