Egg Tempera Artwork

It was a real privilege to collaborate with local artist Kate on this striking piece, created for an upcoming exhibition in Birmingham

Kate’s portrait is painted in egg tempera — one of the oldest and most disciplined techniques in art history. Known for its precision, luminosity, and delicate layering, it’s a method that predates oil painting and demands real craftsmanship.

Painted on 20mm plywood, the artwork itself has real presence and weight — so strength in the framing was key.

To complement the piece, we designed a bold, bright blue tray frame with a floating mount. The aim was simple: give the artwork space to breathe while making the colours sing. The result is a clean, contemporary finish that really lets the portrait take centre stage.

We also incorporated rebated corners to add strength and rigidity to the structure — ensuring the frame not only looks sharp but is built to last.

Always great to work on something a little different — and even better when it’s heading out to be seen and appreciated.
