Description of Wall Metals and Artist Process - Friday Night Art

Metals are created under the direction of Jim Rode.

Wall Metals are frameless but ready to hang with a mounting box attached to the back of each art piece. This can be left off on request.

Framed Metals: 

The media ink is embedded in aluminum. The surface will be first buffed and prepared with a base coat of white dye. When ready, the aluminum is then infused with the art, it's archival image dyes and inks are baked at about 400º - permanently fusing within the surface of the metal.

After a white glove inspection, the art is mounted on a 2mm styrene surface to prepare it for gallery display. Strong metal rails are added to the styrene back and wired with gallery quality wire with d-rings. It is shipped to you ready to hang. Friday Night Art always brings a high quality finish and mounting for the art you purchase. With Jim's metals at Friday Night Art we avoid the use of sawtooth hangers in favor of a quality D-ring in framed art and Aluminum hanging mechanisms.

Contact Jim for a showing or to acquire the art for your collection.
