What is gallery wrapped canvas?
This is the canvas I typically work on. It is a nice clean look when hanging on the wall. It does not require a frame. The canvas itself is 1.5 inches thick, and I continue the painting onto these edges. You can still have a gallery wrapped canvas framed by your local framer.
