So I have been asked to help hang a painting = 110cm x 85cm.
It is framed and heavier than I expected. It has a taught nylon string straight across the back with some brown tape.
Not being an art expert what hanging system do you all use / what do you recommend. This has a wooden frame so would be easy to change. At home I use wire and I recall one picture I put up has a locking system / two metal plates (which were a pig to drill and line up) … but it is not falling off when the string breaks ;0)

 

I use metal twisted picture wire, which I attach to 1cm screw in picture frame hooks (see photo) into the frame



and then nail or screw ‘picture hooks’ (see EBay) for the correct strength of hook.

 

I was thinking to try the French cleat or something similar. It looks sturdy and this picture will hang above a stairway so a long drop if anything breaks (hence why they asked for help).
Anyone used this type of thing?

These worked well for me at home but have not found them for sale lately. .

 

Solved…. I think … not exactly the same but I have gone for a keyhole bracket system… will see how that works out.

Is that for that beautiful painting you had restored? Hey fellows: I thought I was replying to PM from Omegafanman…

Anyway… cleaning out the garage today and found an old pencil drawing that I must have done in the 80s. The porcupine looks like he’s got an attitude. I found this in an old USGP magazine also… The Ferrari card looks nice… maybe a candidate for a cheap 5 x 8 frame…

 

Love art and visiting art galleries but don’t own much
Here’s a few

 

On my wall, I've got a mix of pieces from local artists and some prints I found online. I'm a big fan of abstract art – there's something about those vibrant colors and intriguing shapes that just draws me in. I came across an amazing abstract piece at https://www.artworks.ae/Abstract-Wall-Art that really spoke to me. It's now the centerpiece of my collection, and I can't stop staring at it!

 

My wife is an artist, so we have lots of conversation pieces in the home. Recently, it's a lot of work using human hair:



My son remains obsessed with dinosaurs and Godzilla, so there's lots of this kind of art up:



I have a whole boatload of metal and punk concert screenprints that I want to put up again but decided to put them in storage to free up room for my kid's artwork.
